The perfect follow up to Cinephonic's last album 'Visions', 'Refuge' takes Pierre Chrétien's vision to a deeper lounge of jazz meets beats; I didn't see that one coming! 


Pierre Chrétien, also known for his work in Souljazz Orchestra and Atlantis Jazz Ensemble, is the leader/multi-instrumentalist front row of piano, vibraphone and guitar with long time collaborators Philippe Charbonneau (bass) and Mike Essoudry (drums). 

So this album of 12 tracks is perfect Jazz Chronicles/Futuristic Beats as it's merges lounge/OST 'trio' jazz without being too soul-jazz or hip-hop all at the same time.

Like 'Visions' (see review HERE) and album made for Resonant FM's OST Show, in the 'music for film that's yet to be made' category and a perpect 'companion' album for the new Ayane Shino album 'River せせらぎ The timbre of guitar #2 Rei Harakami' on MusicMine Records (see review HERE).

Don't forget to check out 'Visions' after finding 'Refuge' with the Cinephonic.
