Edredon Sensible was formed in 2016 in Toulouse (France), from the initiative of four musicians. They gathered around their attraction for the trance phenomenon, the experimentation of the sensory limits of music and the research of raw and hypnotic sound. As Anne Yven (Citizen Jazz) had said very well “Behind this bizarre name of Edredon Sensible (Sensitive Quilt in english), we find ardour and belief, body and spirit. Two tireless polyrhythmic percussionists and two tenor and baritone saxophonists taking an insane pleasure in stretching out the attacks and playing them in infinite loops, invigorating lovers of an elementary but dishevelled jazz, focused on the trance, which takes root on every continent.” What is delicious about this group is their ability to combine a flawless seriousness in their music and a delirious artistic image.
Their 1st album Vloute Panthère (a pun with the foot arch, very well explained in the artwork) transcribes their primary and visceral approach to music. They play on repetition, heady and catchy rhythms.
