Based on the island of Guadeloupe, one of these little jewels of the Caribbean, saxophonist Xavier Richardeau expresses his long passion for Caribbean music through this album “A CARIBBEAN THING”. Beyond the marked seas and with a pluriversal language, he exhibits accomplished musical work, inspired by the styles and rhythmic movements of this rich cultural basin of the Americas. With the exception of the classic “Sous le ciel de Paris” revived by a daring tropical breath, all the compositions are original, effectively served by arrangements adapted for this generous Sextet ensemble. "A successful example of fusion between swing and beguine, an irresistible incentive to dance" - Jacques Aboucaya, Jazz Magazine, Feb 2024 / AWARDED 4* by Jazz Magazine.
