The Mallet-Horn Jazz Band <br />Well after the Bronze Age, a new alloy was created from the foundries of the Loire, France: romance assembled with the after beat, screams married to virtuosity and the devil’s primal song welded onto an infernal rhythm. The Mallet-Horn Jazz Band hasn’t invented a new instrument, they’ve invented a new assembly, a new sound born from instruments whose origins have faded into the age of time….... a marimba, a vibraphone, a double-bass, drums and a horde of French horns led by Maestro Arkady Schilkloper. They don’t upset the jazz and big band repertoire, they revisit it, twist it, shout it, whisper it… <br />So, now you know about the band but it’s guaranteed that you’ve never heard sounds like this before... <br />A brilliantly hewn rhythm section, with the talents of Mogan Cornebert - drums and Ivan Gélugne - double-bass, embellished with two keyboards forged in metal: Benoit Lavollée and Renaud Détruit - vibraphones, bound to the claws of the French horns using such a broad spectrum of colours, nuances and tonal ranges. An extravagant line-up for standard jazz repertoire and original compositions. <br />http://www.themallethornjazzband.com/# <br />contact: themallethornjazzband@gmail.com
