Nearness, released in May 2022 on Arts Culture Europe, pairs French saxophonist Lynn Adib with bassist Marc Buronfosse. This thirteen-track album melds elements of French jazz with North African Gnawa rhythms, reflecting the duo’s exploration of intimate musical dialogue. Recorded with a focus on interplay, the album’s textures are sparse yet intricate, foregrounding Adib’s supple saxophone lines against Buronfosse’s resonant bass.The featured track "Present Tense" exemplifies their nuanced approach, balancing rhythmic drive with delicate phrasing. While not widely known—garnering modest attention on Last.fm—the record stands as a subtle artifact of cross-cultural exchange within contemporary European jazz circles. Nearness invites attentive listening, rewarding those who seek the quiet details in improvised form.
