The Catalan quartet Jazz Pretenders present the second album of their career, with eight pieces written by the saxophonist Jordi Blanch. The title of the CD, Pretensions Elèctriques, is, they assure us, the best definition of its content. At a time when jazz is evolving by drawing on the sounds that have shaped its history, Jazz Pretenders make a clever, original exploration of the territories of fusion. The result of their unique formula is electric jazz that evokes passages from the music’s past and still manages to provide contemporary elements. A blend of sounds looking boldly to the future.
