Metropolitain

Cat.No: CCD79856 Format: CD

Barcode: 708857985623 Label: CANDID

Genre: JAZZ

Bassist and composer Kyle Eastwood’s most eclectic album yet featuring Till Brönner, Eric Legnini, Manu Katche and Camille. Kyle Eastwood’s Metropolitain is his third album to be released on the Candid label Features include YOU Magazine (Mail On Sunday), 'In The Taxi with..' Daily Mail, BBC Radio 3 – Private Passions interview UK dates to support album release

Aiming to stay true to his roots as a live musician Kyle set out with this record to capture the sound which his band has toured all over the world. Along with producer and long time collaborator Michael Stevens (with whom he has written film scores for block busters such as Changeling and Gran Tarino), Kyle was eager to make a record which had an energy and spirit all of it’s own. To achieve this Kyle and Michael sought the help of Erin Davis (son of the legendary Miles) who came on board to co-produce the album. Metropolitain was recorded live in the back streets of Paris at Studio Feber, a tiny, wood-panelled studio suggested to Kyle by guest pianist on the album Eric Legnini. Kyle splits his time between Paris and LA but Paris seemed an appropriate spiritual home for this project. Perhaps because it gave Kyle access to such an incredible batch of top quality musicians. As well as Legnini the album sees collaborations with cutting edge French pop vocalist Camille, German trumpet superstar Till Brönner and French drummer and current trailblazer Manu Katché. Tracks: Metropolitain / Bold Changes / Hot Box / Black Light / Bel Air / Samba de Paris / Song for you / Rue Perdue / Le Balai / Live for Life (bonus track) Also available: CCD79845 'Now' / CCD79789 'Paris Blue' Tour Dates: 28.5.09 - Hay literary Festival / 26.7.09 – Glasgow Jazz Festival / 20.7.09 – Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club / 21.7.09 – Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club
