The second album by Lisa Cat-Berro (nominated at the Victoires du Jazz 2013), "Good Days Bad Days", is the testimony of a journey and a mutation that is as much an inner road book as a personal diary. The saxophonist reaffirms her songwriting qualities and delivers for the first time the intimacy of her singing voice, like an amused and tender response to those who have told her for so long that she plays as one sings.
Ten tracks, five songs and five instrumentals, recount the story of a transformation, even a rebirth. These songs of the soul, born from the necessity of accepting the succession of days as they are, good or bad, speak to us of reincarnation, changing times, fertile anticipation, and the light that emerges from destitution.
To bring these "folksongs" to life, she chose to continue the path begun with the musicians of her quartet, buoyed by the joy of hearing the tracks take shape and build with them. The group's sound, tinged with folk and instrumental pop, patinated over time, lends genuine depth to this music that seeks to bear witness to the life energy and resilience present in each of us.
Line-up: Lisa Cat-Berro: saxophone, vocals; Daniel Mizrahi: guitar / vocals; Nicolas Larmignat: drums; Stéphane Decolly: electric bass
