about

This eponymous album marks the return of a guitarist known for his fiery playing, organic production aesthetic, rich tone, and soulful writing. All of these elements are present in abundance and even greater depth in this new, genre defying music.

"Kasper has successfully bridged divergent musical concepts. The accomplishment would seem to be founded on his innate grasp of music ideology. His soulful expressionism brings a fiery edge to the mix. Multiple listens reveal that every note has a purpose and every change furthers the storytelling mastery. There are no shredding or lightning rounds to be found. Instead there is the product of a musician who respects and cherishes his instrument with melodies and the purity of harmonic structure." Jim Worsley, All About Jazz, December 13, 2023

"...every note played shows the truth, sensitivity and mastery of the composer !!! It's professional, raw and guitar (foreground), so the album "Julien Kasper" should be listened to loudly with the repeat button, because it's the music that will quickly make us a faithful/addicted ally to what is beautiful, valuable and timeless." Victor Czura of Magazyn Gitarzysta, Poland, January 2nd 2023 (translated from the Polish).
