Album Description Unavailable in the U.S.! Originally released in 2000, The Mask once again spotlights the French trumpeter's mix of Jazz, Funk and Soul. Truffaz is often compared to Miles Davis since both lead their respective fusion outfits with exceptional trumpet playing but Truffaz has enough of his own personality to be categorized as a mere copyist. Features Truffaz backed by Patrick Muller (piano, Fender Rhodes piano), Marcello Giuliani (acoustic and electric basses) and Marc Erbetta (drums, percussion). Blue Note. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsIf Miles was still alive. John Greenspan | Santa Fe, New Mexico United States | 02/03/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "If Miles Davis was still alive and playing, this is what he might do. Errik Truffaz is not trying to copy Miles, but rather has absorbed his style and is moving on to the next level. I played several cuts from this CD on a jazz program I do in Santa Fe and got several calls wanting to know how they could obtain the disc. Erik Truffaz is an important new voice in jazz." Badass Drum-n-Bass Action! Josh Rothman | Princeton, NJ | 07/19/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm not especially knowledgeable about jazz (this is one of the few jazz albums I own, and the rest are bossa nova or name-brand like Stan Getz) - but one thing I do know is that Erik Truffaz is the man. His flowing, warbling trumpet lines are propelled forward by awesome drum-n-bass percussion and bathed in atmospheric keyboard work, and it's that combination that puts this CD into 5-star territory. Truffaz's music is rigorously inventive and brings together all the right elements in the right proportions - drum-n-bass pitter-patter, wah-wah funkified keyboards and elegantly twisting trumpet lines work together in a way that's modern and subtly exhilirating. It combines a lot of contemporary, almost electronic atmosphere with the vigor of live instrumentation and a classic sound that incorporates, rather than copies, Miles Davis.If you're into drum-n-bass and have even a passing interest in jazz - or even if you just like drum-n-bass and have heard of some guy named Miles Davis - you should buy this CD now. It's great stuff." I thought I was more of a "traditionalist", ... T. Hoppe | Meadowbrook, PA United States | 09/28/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Up 'til this album, (and still) my favorites consist(ed) of recordings such as Art Blakey-almost anything-especially MOSAIC, Griffin/Davis, Coltrane-BLUE TRAIN, Miles Davis (50's), Lee Morgan, classic BLUE NOTE, ... But this just woke me up! I bought it on the strength of the reviews I read, and I was not disappointed-this is a great album! Definately grooves in a detached kinda way, yet there's this hot trumpet going on as well. Hey, if Miles was doing this about 30 years ago, more power to him."
