About
Observe the Silence marks a new step in Greg Lamy’s career. A formula tightened around an always more united trio, joined for the occasion by Franco-Serbian pianist Bojan Z, who managed to subtly appropriate the compositions of the guitarist from Luxembourg.
Observe the Silence refers to that area of space in music that is sometimes necessary to breathe. The album explores a harmonic palette that releases the blast of improvisation, leading musicians and listeners into contemplation.The Luxembourgish guitarist presents his third album on Igloo Records.
Drawing his creativity from the complicity and mutual respect established over 15 years with Gautier Laurent and Jean-Marc Robin, Greg takes advantage of the freedom offered by this trio to collaborate regularly with different artists: Lionel Loueke, Marco Massa, Gretchen Parlatoor even Flavio Boltro.This album marks a real milestone for the group, which this time welcomes the prolific pianist Bojan Z.
The collaboration took place smoothly and an understanding was quickly born between the two musicians. Bojan Z alternately handles the Fender Rhodes and the piano, which he notably preferred for the ballad "Mothers". He adds a strong identity to the project, drawing on elements of both jazz and Balkan culture.
Greg Lamy renews both his way of improvising and composing. In this album, he claims a change of colors and sounds. His characteristic guitar playing is more modern than ever.
