Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series presents Moutin Factory Quintet!

Featuring: François Moutin - upright bass; Louis Moutin - drums; Manu Codjia - guitar; Jean-Michel Pilc - piano; Christophe Monniot - alto & sopranino saxophone. On tour, celebrating the release of their new CD, "DEEP", which unveils the compositions imagined by Francois and Loius, inspired by the sound of this new group. Their melodies and the rythms generously carry us in a world of deep emotions and lead us into sharing their jubilation of being fully alive. By Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune: "As always, the brothers Moutin stood at the core of the venture, their locked-in approach to rhythm surely owing as much to skill as to genetics." They are "the spine of a quintet bolstered by Manus Codjia's wide-open guitar solos, Christophe Monniot's incantatory lines on sacophone and Jean-Michel Pilc's harmonically advanced pianism. At times, these five musicians suggested a much larger ensemble, as well as a cohesive unit pushing forward with a single purpose." ... the Parisian powerhouse of brothers Francois and Louis Moutins group has quickly established itself as one of the most creative new bands of the decade. Jennifer Odell Downbeat November 2010. Francois Moutin is one of the giants of Jazz European Division. Michael J. West - Washington City Paper - April 2010. ...the constant feeling of musical togetherness, of players deeply in touch with each others, brought everything vividly to life (...) at 44, they have transformed their brotherly into an extraordinary and admirable creative partnership." Don Heckmann - LA Times. In march 2016, the band has been touring in France/Switzerland, including l'Equinoxe in Châteauroux, the Caen Theater, the "Théâtre 71" in Malakoff and the Chorus in Lausanne. During this tour they made a 4 days stop in a studio in Malakoff during March, to record their new album DEEP, to be released at the end of August 2016.
