Double bass player and composer Michel Benita is an indispensable part of the French jazz scene. He was born in Algeria and made his rise as a jazz musician in Paris in the eighties. Meanwhile he plays and played with names like Archie Shepp, Lee Konitz, Erik Truffaz and Andy Sheppard. With his own quartet he seems to explore the boundaries between pure freedom and more disciplined European jazz. Spun out and ethereal jazzscapes, that sound completely free of rhythm and key, can suddenly find their way to an exciting passage in which the band is all together. Looking At Sounds sounds subdued and has a dark tone, with leading parts for the complaining flugelhorn of Mattieu Michel and the warm sound of Jozef Dumoulin's Fender Rhodes. (MR)more
