French jazz-funk quartet Aldorande follow up both their 2019 breakthrough debut album and superb 2020 double-sided 12inch single Summer Body / Breakfast in Space with an incredible new album, titled Deux on Favorite Recordings.

Building on the strong foundation of their first two releases, and the influences from 70s era jazz-funk and fusion sound, this brilliant seven-track recording blends together spacey synths and cosmic melodies with funky head-nodding grooves and a nice touch of Brazilian-inspired vibes that will have the listener spinning in orbit through this galaxy and the next.

This very talented group features bassist and bandleader Virgile Raffaëlli, keyboardist Florian Pellissier, drummer Mathieu Edouard, and percussionist Erwan Loeffel, who are joined by a number of additional musicians and vocalists on the recording, including guitarist Laurent Guillet on “Vortex des Possibles” and “Prometheus Asylum,” and Al Sunny on lead vocals on “La Promesse au Soleil”.

Overall, another outstanding recording from a group that has proven to be one the leading modern jazz-funk groups of today. Highly recommended!
