Review by Paul Rhoden

Le Montant Compensatoire is an exceptional album that showcases the musical talents of Patrick Raynal. The album features a range of musical styles, including jazz, blues, and rock, all of which are masterfully executed by Raynal and his talented band.

The album's opening track, "Le Montant Compensatoire," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its smooth jazz rhythms and intricate guitar work. Other standout tracks include "Blues for JL," a soulful tribute to the late jazz legend John Lee Hooker, and "La Route du Sud," which features some of Raynal's most impressive guitar work.

Throughout the album, Raynal's guitar playing is nothing short of virtuosic, as he effortlessly navigates complex chord progressions and intricate melodies. His bandmates, including bassist Jean-Jacques Avenel and drummer Aldo Romano, provide the perfect accompaniment to Raynal's guitar work, creating a musical synergy that is truly remarkable.
