Gaël Horellou Trio - PLO

Review by Tomas Porras

The Gaël Horellou Trio's album, PLO, is a stunning exploration of jazz fusion that is sure to captivate listeners. The album features Horellou on saxophone, along with drummer Antoine Paganotti and bassist Viktor Nyberg. Together, they create a sound that is both intricate and accessible, blending traditional jazz elements with modern electronic influences.

The album's opening track, "PLO," sets the tone for what's to come with its driving beat and intricate saxophone lines. From there, the trio explores a range of sounds and moods, from the frenetic energy of "Ain't No Sunshine" to the introspective "Desire." Throughout, Horellou's saxophone playing is a standout, demonstrating both technical skill and emotional depth.

One of the album's highlights is "Soulful," a track that showcases Nyberg's bass playing and Paganotti's drumming as they create a groove that is both funky and sophisticated. Horellou's saxophone weaves in and out of the rhythm, adding a layer of complexity that keeps the listener engaged.
