Don’t Buy Ivory Anymore! – The Music Of Henri Texier – Palm Unit – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Palm Unit’s ‘DON’T BUY IVORY ANYMORE! – THE MUSIC OF HENRI TEXIER’ is a radiant homage to one of France’s most adventurous jazz composers. Rather than simply revisiting Texier’s catalog, the trio—comprised of contemporary French jazz vanguards—injects fresh urgency and interpretive insight into each composition. The album is a journey through jazz’s more exploratory corridors, where tradition meets fearless innovation. Texier’s pieces, known for their poetic minimalism and rhythmic inventiveness, are reimagined here with tactile intimacy and bursts of collective improvisation. Palm Unit’s interplay is telepathic: piano lines ripple with both lyricism and angularity, while the rhythm section navigates shifting time signatures and open spaces with deft agility. This is jazz that honors its roots yet refuses to stay anchored, making the listening experience both familiar and thrillingly unpredictable. For collectors and adventurous listeners alike, this record is a testament to the enduring vitality of European jazz—and a compelling argument for Henri Texier’s lasting influence. If you crave jazz that rewards deep listening and celebrates the art of reinvention, this album is a treasure waiting to be discovered.
