Ludovic BEIER Quartet - New Montmartre (2003)

“

The accordion seems to be making tentative advances in jazz at present, and it is in France that most new, young players are likely to appear. Ludovic Beier, aged 25, was brought up in the French tradition of the instrument and turned to jazz only a few years ago. He has a spirited, adventurous style which strays into all kinds of byways, such as samba, waltz and sentimental ballad, but still manages to hang together nicely. He certainly has an impressive technique, and a band that keeps him at full stretch, especially pianist Christophe Cravero. There is an easy grace about Beier's playing, a lack of pretentiousness which makes for very pleasant listening. Review by Dave GELLY - The Observer, 20 February 2005 - UK.
