Yolk Records

“QuartEthno has set itself the goal of treating traditional musics in an open manner and above all including improvisations and ways of playing derived from the jazz tradition and from improvised music in the widest sense. The group followed on directly in the line of the quartet that Ornette Coleman directed in the 60s. That quartet saw a period of bursting structures, then the advent of free jazz. We are proud of this connection, which is noticeable above all at the level of instrumentation, but the point for QuartEthno is clearly something else: the era and the culture are both different. The first music the group chose to study and to deal with was classical Arabic music, and in particular Egyptian, Tunisian and Moroccan rhythms and melodies. After having learnt and arranged a fair number of traditional melodies, the group composed the other part of the current repertoire taking inspiration from the modes and metres used in the composition of classical Arabic themes. The repertoire thus formed presents a fine balance between composition and the necessity to include the vivid colours of existing melodies from Arabic music.”
