about

"An elder musician, composer, and producer once told me that the job of producer on a recording session ranged from simply making coffee to writing and arranging the whole album. On this session, I have a vague memory of ordering lunch for the band, but mainly I had the luxury of sitting in the booth and enjoy listening to the music.

Stephane Furic's deceptively simple and elegant compositions pretty much played themselves, realized and colored by two of the greatest sounds on the planet, Chris Cheek and Chris Speed. My only job was to confirm the obvious great takes with the band, occasionally wanting to hear another, different version just for the sake of it. Listening to it after the fact, there is a relaxed and spacious magic to these sessions that I only now hear for the first time listening to the whole disc in context – all the more compliments to Stephane for hearing a total sound in his head, and having the instinct to choose musicians that gave him even more than he expected. Enjoy!"

- Jim Black



"Everything about this extraordinary album is deliberate and attains its own level of perfection. To begin with, there is its name: The word "Jugendstil" is so apt. Just as that art movement was typified by highly stylized and curvilinear forms, so is the music on this record. Here, the aural replaces the visual form of the art it seeks to represent and the compositions are typified by their stylized phrases that sweep through the senses with swathes of sound. Sometimes the music in linear and propulsive. At other times it is circular - even like a helix. Stéphane Furic-Leibovici composes music which is defined by the descriptive grammar of the earth - deliberate and flowing organically and continuously until its imperative dénouement. The genius of this record is to bring together instruments that are at opposite ends of the tonal spectrum and that breathe with disparate texture. A better trio could not have interpreted the music. There is a symbiotic relationship between the players. Their performances here are beyond the interplay that describes great trios. Rather it is as if the challenging compositions have been given a life all their own by the brilliant interpretations of the performers."

STÉPHANE FURIC-LEIBOVICI image

STÉPHANE FURIC-LEIBOVICI France

FURIC LEIBOVICI 's innovative work in the 1990's and 2000’s bridged late 20th-century through-composed music with music for virtuoso improvisers.

His current output - atonal, asymmetrical, rhythmically complex, is marked by a high-tension state which coexists with a nocturnal nature poetry.

His compositions include music for chamber orchestra and ensembles, solo instrumental, vocal works. ... more
