Hubbub

Country: France

Hubbub is a French improvising quintet of Frédéric Blondy (piano), Bertrand Denzler (tenor saxophone), Jean-Luc Guionnet (alto saxophone), Jean-Sébastien Mariage (electric guitar) and Edward Perraud (drums and percussion). The group keeps the line-up of a jazz band but works with long, slowly shifting drones in place of separate notes and phrases, building extended pieces from sustained textures. Hubbub made its first recordings for the For4Ears label (Ub/Abu) and for Matchless Recordings.
