Absyrations, issued in May 2019 on the French label Cjazz, presents a suite of nine tracks led by pianist Alfio Origlio. Rooted in modern jazz with a smooth, distinctly French touch, the album draws on a varied palette including interpretations of “La marseillaise” and cinematic themes like “Il était une fois la révolution.” Origlio's piano anchors the proceedings, weaving through melodies with a poised clarity that reflects the European jazz milieu of the late 2010s.The collection leans into refined arrangements and a polished approach, with titles such as “Le clan des siciliens” and “Viking Boat” hinting at narrative undercurrents. While the record remains comfortably within the realm of jazz piano, it occasionally brushes against broader atmospheres evoked by its diverse track names. Absyrations stands as a measured artifact of contemporary French jazz, resonating with listeners who favour articulate pianism and a smooth, urbane sensibility.
