Grégoire Maret Announces New Album in April

ByMatthias Kirsch

Harmonica player Grégoire Maret just announced a new album for the German ACT Music label: together with Romain Collin, he tackles the music of Ennio Morricone on “Ennio”, to be released on April 26th. Both his 2016 album “Wanted” and his 2020 LP “Americana” received five-paw reviews from Gina. And we still remember his brilliant performance with Edmar Castaneda at the 2019 North Sea Jazz Festival. We already had the honor to listen to “Ennio” and it is indeed a magical album. It features a duet with Cassandra Wilson (yes she’s still around) and Gregory Porter. Please come back for a full review closer to the album’s release.

First track “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: The Ecstasy Of Gold” is out now.
