L'affrontement des prétendants is an album by the Louis Sclavis Quintet recorded in September 1999 and released on ECM in 2001. The quintet features trumpeter Jean-Luc Cappozzo, cellist Vincent Courtois and rhythm section Bruno Chevillon and François Merville.[1]
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating, "It is as a quintet this band plays, as a musical unit that is seasoned and confident and in full possession of its strengths and musical empathies. So democratic and accomplished is this band that it sounds as if it has no leader, but only music to play. And that's as high a compliment as any reviewer can pay."[2]
