A few years after their first CD ’Fourmilières’, Diab Quintet returns with a new album ’Seagull Tango’, and what a joy it is! The quintet demonstrates with this CD just how much maturity they have acquired.
Jonathan De Neck, in the role of leader, has sketched out nine compositions that bring together the worlds of folk, world music, jazz, classical music and improvisation. With subtle and intelligent arrangements that enable each of the musicians to bring out his own personality, Diab Quintet blends spellbinding melodies with dance rhythms.
All of this makes for a show full of energy in which nostalgia and melancholy run hand-in-hand, combining pleasure and freedom.
