The twin Moutin Brothers, Francois and Louis, have made their marks over the years as co-leaders of the Moutin Reunion Quartet, and as much-in-demand sideman due to the mastery of their respective instruments, bass and drums. After five well-received recordings by the Quartet featuring Rick Margitza and Pierre de Bethmann, the Moutins now reveal their new project, the Moutin Factory Quintet, with saxophonist Christophe Monniot, guitarist Emmanuel Codjia, and pianist Thomas Enhco. One element remains unchanged, and that is the personality of the Moutins' music-- unfettered stylistically, provocatively arranged, and laden with zestful improvisations and interaction. Through six originals from Paris-based Louis and three from New York resident Francois, plus an Ornette Coleman medley, this new ensemble manages to sound ageless and sublimely vital.
