Following "Left Arm Blues", an octet-recording acclaimed by the public and the critics, Fabien Mary continues to deploy his talents by extending them for the first time on the scale of a large orchestra. Drawing on the seasoned Vintage Orchestra, the most Parisian of all big bands, the trumpeter embarked on an impressive writing work from which emerged an entire original repertoire, in the great tradition of large-scale jazz. In "Too Short", the swing never gets the short end of the stick!

—Jazz Magazine
Album "Indispensable"
"La densité des compositions, la clarté des lignes, la sophistication formelle, la chaleur du son d'ensemble et un swing d'airain situent l'œuvre dans une catégorie supérieure où la surprise, le jeu et le plaisir d'écoute sont partout et tout le temps de mise."
—Jazz News
"Oscillant entre ruptures bop et élégances West Coast, lorgnant vers le jazz cool, l’orchestre fait jaillir des pépites swinguantes à souhait."

★★★★
