A virtuosic blend of jazz, classical and global folk music fills BlueShore at CapU, Monday, March 31.Les Égarés is a genre-spanning jazz-folk-Anatolian band featuring Malian kora maverick Ballaké Sissoko, France’s renowned cellist Vincent Segal, accordion virtuoso Vincent Peirani and soprano saxophonist Émile Parisien, whose gorgeous, voice-like playing echoes the great Sidney Bechet. The quartet’s name means “those who stray” and all four musicians prove their credentials of possessing experimental genre-crossing brilliance. The band’s outstanding self-titled debut album released last year, mixes various flavours of music from Armenia, Transylvania and Turkey, along with Coltrane-inspired jazz, tango and Mandingo music – all enlivened with lyrical kora hooks, nimble accordion post-bop and haunting cello harmonies. An evening of unique, sublime music awaits those lucky enough to attend!
