The soundtrack of a sunny day at the Eden Beach Club! After the commercial and critical success of the album ‘Hymne au soleil’, Laurent Bardainne and Tigre d’Eau Douce defy the laws of attraction, aiming beyond the sun with Eden as their target in their third album ‘EDEN BEACH CLUB.’ A return to their successful uninhibited formula, blending lingering groove, luxurious soul, flamboyant jazz, and electronic spirals. Geographically or musically, no map can locate this place of eclecticism anymore, with each track leading to an invitation to dance and celebrate a moment. That of an eternal sunset, striped with electricity by Laurent Bardainne and Tigre d’Eau Douce.”

French saxophonist Laurent Bardainne summons the spirit of astral jazz on heavy-grooving album, Hymne au Soleil.

A dreamlike, cinematic excursion to the outer reaches of the solar system and the inner workings of the soul, Laurent Bardainne returns to Heavenly Sweetness with his Tigre d’Eau Douce group for a second album of genre-agnostic jazz- funk. Building on critically acclaimed 2020 album Love Is Everywhere, Hymne au Soleil sizzles with Arnaud Roulin’s Hammond organ licks, in-the-pocket bass work from Sylvain Daniel, and shu ing drum and percussion interplay from Philippe Gleizes and Roger Raspail, pinning Bardainne’s soaring saxophone lines to the mast like a ag in the wind.
