Caliboudja

Following his acclaimed first album, French pianist Dexter Goldberg is back, leading a completely renewed trio, formed with two young French jazz wizards, double bassist Clément Daldosso (known for his stints with the Paris Jazz Sessions and Giovanni Mirabassi New Quartet) and drummer Raphaël Pannier (currently a sideman with Biréli Lagrène and Thomas Enhco), who has just returned from New York.

Summoning the genuine spirit of childhood and the pleasure of interplay, Goldberg puts his trio into perspective, moving from homage to the great masters - in particular, Ahmad Jamal, who encouraged him just before passing - to the joyful building of moving musical forms.
