Frédéric Borey - Lines (2010)

After a long classical studies, Frederic Borey came to jazz by the saxophone influence of Joe Henderson, Stan Getz and Jerry Bergonzi. He has shared his life between playing and teaching improvisation, workshops and big-band in the Belfort Music School Jazz Department, and the Didier Lockwood Music Center in Paris. Since 2008, he moved to Bordeaux, playing like a sideman and leading his two own groups, Frederic Borey Group and Argentieri -Borey- Tissot Unitrio.

Frederic Borey sounds totally comfortable in his second album on Fresh Sound New Talent. His music is genuine and warm. He does not try to dazzle with technique but he really impresses by an honest improvising speech. The tunes are very well situated to the dynamic work of the rhythm section. They know how to create an atmosphere with plenty of space for Borey to develop his statements. Lines is structured but very open sounding. Its enjoyable the sound of his tenor and soprano saxophones. Masterfully done.
