Erik Truffaz

Anyone pick this one up yet?

I grabbed it when I was up in Montreal a few weeks ago, but I think it just came out in the states. I'm digging the hell out of it, but I'm a big Truffaz fan - Nya and all. Truffaz' music takes me to a place - especially loud and late at night - that is almost transcendental. But that's just me.

I like this quite a bit too, there's a nice trippy vibe to it. Has anyone ever seen Truffaz perform live? I was wondering how this music sounded in a live setting

I'm about 19 years late to the party.  

A friend of mine was telling me about this cat.  

Where should I start?

You might like Rollin', recently released in the U.S. on Blue Note--all the songs are from classic foreign film soundtracks.

Someone to rave about.  I like his tone and style.
Favourite tune: "Giuseppe" (from In Between, 2010)
Using banjo for rhythm  is couragous and - done in this way - ravishing:
sort of folksy ambient jazz.
There´s a lot to discover in Truffaz´ discography.

I have nothing against Truffaz, but why is the copy always so cliché? 🙂

I asked Microsoft Copilot "Could you please rewrite the following copy so that it becomes more hyperbolic and over-the-top?"

The response:

Absolutely, let's dial up the excitement to eleven!
