A long-awaited release that features the late guitar master at his most lyrical and inventive was recorded in January 2017 but held back until now. This session, led by vibraphonist Tony Miceli, is a poignant tribute to Vic Juris's boundless musicality and deep connection to the jazz tradition.Inspired by the spirit of Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club legacy, the quartet reimagines classic French repertoire with fresh arrangements and modern interplay. The interpretations of "Nuages" and "La Vie en Rose" are especially moving, revealing a depth of emotion that resonates even more powerfully in light of his passing. Miceli, who spearheaded the project, recalls Juris's uncanny ability to absorb and reproduce any tune - "like an iPod with soul."This recording, lovingly restored by SteepleChase producer Nils Winther, transforms what was once a shelved session into a sonic gem. It stands as both a celebration of Vic Juris's artistry and a testament to the enduring power of collaboration.Incidentally, Miceli's witty and heartfelt liner notes read as an ode to Vic, the stellar artist.
