Click on name for biography.
The quartet of guitarist Tam de Villiers takes us on a journey across an uncommon landscape of bewitching rhythms and savant harmonies, with a strong melodic drive that leads the way. Infused with the sounds of today, his compositions delve into the world of progressive rock, just as much as that of jazz, with undulating forms and surprising time-shifts..
British-born guitarist, Tam de Villiers released his first album “Alba Lux” in 2008 with this team of musicians already well appreciated on the French jazz scene. After this first opus, well received by reviewers, they recorded “MOTION UNFOLDING” and opened the door to the internationally renowned guest singer: David LINX on two tracks of the album released on the German label, DOUBLE MOON RECORDS.
This disc was released in October 2011 and is already attracting the attention of journalists and programmers in France and abroad. It was awarded “RÉVÉLATION!” prize in Jazz Magazine / Jazzman and was appluaded by famous magazines in Germany such as JAZZTHING. After the CD release concerts at the Sunset Jazz Club in Paris, as well as the jazz clubs of Berlin, a tour of France is planned in 2012 : Cavajazz, Salon de Musique, Cri du Port, Periscope, Pannonica and Maison de la Radio for the live show “Jazz sur le vif”.
