"vecteur0 is a hybrid car with three drivers: it drifts, it slaloms but it drives"
This is the new trio that emerged from the very active jazz scene in Nancy, and more precisely from the apartment located in the Trois Maisons district where most of the members of the NCY Milky Band and their musician friends from the Nancy Conservatory stayed.
vecteur0 is formed by three musicians: Achille Landois, a graduate jazz doublebass player who plays in various bands in Nancy including the TACET and various BMM Records projects, Adrien Legay, drummer at Berklee College of Music in Boston known for his performances in The Storm Watchers and M.A BEAT! and Quentin Thomas of the NCY Milky Band, who mixes in this formation the roles of saxophonist, flutist, and keyboardist.
In their self-titled debut EP, they build a highway from the acoustic and improvisational side of jazz to modern electronica, and ride it at full speed. This trio mixes jazz influences such as Peter Eldh, Sam Wilkes or Ahmad Jamal's version of the Poinciana standard, with a touch of alternative rock, experimental folk and vaporwave similar to Broadcast, Stereolab or 18 Carat Affair. The result is a meditative and adventurous four-tracker, with swirling saxophone lines, soothing flutes and bright synths over powerful doublebass grooves and choppy rhythms.
