Poney Jungle / Various - Poney Jungle [CD]

For it's fourth opus, the most badass string quartet in France's young guard revisits standards written by some of the monuments in jazz, namely Mingus, Ellington, Coltrane, Monk and Shorter. And this four-piece is probably one of the most relevant around when it comes to artistic experiment based the material that belongs to our heritage. Here the RP Quartet shows it's increasing maturity as it closes in on the essentials of it's art, and Poney Jungle is a wild, powerful musical horse ride that clears every obstacle with sincerity and brio.
