The music of Georgi Kornazov attempts a great density of ideas and sounds. He dreams of new horizons, of new surprises, tinted with wise interplay, with nuanced feeling and unheard sounds. His quintet masters all the dynamics of jazz, fiery tenderness, intelligent interjections, dovetailed virtuosity and lyricism, a collision between tradition and improvisation, always animated by a persistent freshness, a structure that never bores, allowing us to discover surprises at the turning into each sidestreet and other lightened pathways taken. (Franck Médioni)
