2007-05-29 A pioneering jazz figure, French Trumpeter Eric Truffaz May 29, 2008

Swiss-born trumpet player Erik Truffaz has gained prominence in the international jazz community for wedding the post-beebop and early fusion styles of trumpet legend Miles Davis with more contemporary forms of music such as electronica, acid rock, and hip-hop. The result is a musical synthesis that is often nostalgic yet simultaneously fresh, sometimes veering into trance music and other times hitting a polyrhythmic dance vibe inspiring listeners to hit the dance floor. Erik Truffaz proves again to be a jazz non-conformist on his Blue Note and EMI recordings.
