Joy Ascension, by Macha Gharibian

Joy Ascension

by Macha Gharibian

supported by

Fabien Aurejac For the lyrics and the fantasmatic side, Joy Ascension holds the palmares... But definitely, I prefer when Masha plays also piano, though she's an awesome singer. Favorite track: Georgian Mood.

pruco80 Non stanca mai, ad ogni ascolto sembra un album nuovo.
Meraviglioso. Favorite track: Georgian Mood.

about

For her third ambitious album with a Coltranian title, Joy Ascension, Macha Gharibian assumes her posture as a pianist, singer, author, composer, arranger, producer and leader. Around her, two colorists who handle notes like gouache, drummer Dré Pallemaerts and double bassist Chris Jennings, plus two guests, Bert Joris who draws with his trumpet cool dazzling a la Chet on the aerial ballad The Woman I Am Longing To Be and Artyom Minasyan who reinforces with his doudouk the hypnotic Sari Siroun Yar. The volcanic voice of Macha Gharibian brings her into the family of solar and inhabited vocalists, this very closed club which goes from Nina Simone to Mélissa Laveaux. Album of a free woman and an artist of her time, Joy Ascension is a precious disc that awakens our senses.

Pour son troisième album ambitieux au titre coltranien, Joy Ascension, Macha Gharibian assume sa posture de pianiste, chanteuse, auteure, compositrice, arrangeuse, réalisatrice et leader. Autour d’elle, deux coloristes qui manient les notes comme de la gouache, le batteur Dré Pallemaerts et le contrebassiste Chris Jennings, plus deux invités, Bert Joris qui dessine avec sa trompette des fulgurances cool à la Chet sur la ballade aérienne The Woman I Am Longing To Be et Artyom Minasyan qui renforce avec son doudouk l’hypnotique Sari Siroun Yar. La voix volcanique de Macha Gharibian la fait entrer dans la famille des vocalistes solaires et habitées, ce club très fermé qui va de Nina Simone à Mélissa Laveaux. Album d’une femme libre et d’une artiste de son époque, Joy Ascension est un disque précieux qui vient réveiller nos sens.

The Call Within
by Tigran Hamasyan

supported by 4 fans who also own “Joy Ascension”

Tigran created a graceful album that feels like the story of the universe is unfolding in front of you. Equally gripping and carefree, it's a solid and fulfilling experience. Pacing's pretty neat, plus the way musicians play brings another layer of stylish personality and class. Compositions are astoundingly beautiful and can be super catchy or quite melancholic, showing how much of a pristine vibe the range of emotions on this project is. Those strong melodies regularly come back in my mind. SUPRAQUENCER
