Christian Pruvost: trumpet
Sakina Abdou: alto and soprano saxophone
Jean-Baptiste Rubin: baritone and tenor saxophone
Maxime Morel: tuba and trombone
Jeremie Ternoy: Fender Rhodes, piano bass
Maciej Garbowski - Ivann Cruz Quartet: guitar
Peter Orins: drums
Recorded on March 9 and 10- 2016 at la malterie (Lille).
Toc & The Compulsive Brass, and its recording Air Bump, is a project that began with the idea of the early jazz music from New Orleans. Fascinated by the writing and the energy of musicians like Jelly Roll Morton or Kid Ory, the members of Toc wanted to combine those sounds with their music. It’s not about re-creating old pieces, but using that material to make new music.

About the band
Toc is French jazz-core trio founded in 2008 with Jérémie Ternoy on Fender Rhodes, Ivann Cruz on guitar, and Peter Orins on drums. Playing the density and the organic, daring the trance in a joyful and catchy tension, Toc provides energetic improvised music. Noise, post-rock, psychedelic, experimental pop or jazz hardcore, difficult to classify the music of this trio as it blurs the tracks and tries to take us where we did not expect.
Toc plays regularly in throughout Europe (primarily in France), and has released three CDs: Le Gorille (Circum-Disc, 2008), You Can Dance (If You Want) (Circum-Disc, 2011) and Haircut (Circum-Disc/Tandori Records/Besides Records, 2014).
