The Sampling Is Beautiful Trio, a fresh ensemble hailing from France, introduces their unique sound with the track “Jazz for Aliens.” This piece is a delightful journey through funky and jazzy landscapes, distinguished by a laid-back atmosphere and enriched by a compelling trumpet solo that leads into a robust bass guitar line. The track embodies a smooth progression that keeps the listener engaged, showcasing the trio’s ability to blend intricate jazz elements with the soul of funk.
The Sampling Is Beautiful Trio, composed of Zajazza (sampler, scratch, keyboard), Japhet Boristhène (drums, rap / associated with Chassol), and Yacha Berdah (trumpet, bass, looper / associated with Ibrahim Maalouf), represents a harmonious fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and the art of beatmaking. Utilizing samplers and loopers alongside traditional instruments, the trio transforms each performance into an energized hip-hop and jazz playground. Since their inception in early 2022, they have graced various stages and festivals across France, such as Jazz à Vienne and the Institut Lumière de Lyon, promising a vibrant future for this innovative jazz/hip-hop fusion band.
