Lo’Jo

★★★ Transe De Papier YOTANKA. CD/DL/LP

On recent albums – the French ensemble are on number 17 – there has been a reserved air, but this is a more convincing affair. It’s the morning after a big night. “No sin, no redemption,” sing Yamina and Nadia, suggesting we are at least halfway there; meanwhile, Denis Péan never sounded more Aznavour-like. Guests include Tony Allen and Robert Wyatt.
