Robin Mansanti quartet
Robin Mansanti Quartet
“Their compositions sound like standards. Obvious and moving. ”.
“Robin Mansanti sings, as a direct heir to Chet Baker. After a few seconds, so much purity and sweetness impose silence. At this level, it is no longer imitation, it is reincarnation. Robin Mansanti goes on trumpet and, again, Chet Baker's breath seems to pass through him”.
