S'inspirant du haïku - forme de poésie brève qui permet au travers dune économie de mots de voir linvisible, palper labsent, ressentir, vibrer -, Cécile Andrée crée avec ce projet de jazz vocal organique, des pièces qui évoquent la nature : l'environnement qui nous entoure et ce qu'il nous inspire, mais aussi et surtout la nature de l'âme. Cette âme qui, tout comme les plantes cherchent à atteindre dans un environnement ombragé l'étage supérieur baigné de lumière, veut grandir, s'élever jusqu'à la clarté de sa propre canopée. Calquer l'harmonie de la nature... La voix se sert des sons, mots ou onomatopées, de mélodies écrites ou improvisées.

A need to come back to the heart of beings and things, to be guided by what really matters to her : the harmony of sounds, body, soul and nature... We could talk about aesthetic, quest, even utopia ... but this would take useless shortcuts to try to define her approach.. Listening to «nature», her First album of original compositions, recorded near Aix-en-Provence in France, we realize that this songwriter and interpreter masters her arguments. The voice, First of all, aerial and sensitive, as engrossing when she envelops the texts as when she flies freely with onomatopoeia . A timbre that captures you from the First notes of «The wheel of life» opening the opus. The melodies then, dense and beautifully obsessing, from which she signed most of the scores and arrangements, at the crossroads between modern jazz and pop. And finally, the use of haïku (on three pieces), a concise and codified form of Japanese poetry, whose verses are inspired by observation, inner emotions, the time that passes or the evanescence of the world surrounding us..
