  • Bio

    When he is not on tour, Kyle spends much of his time between Paris and Los Angeles and is very much at home in France, so it was natural to look there for an ideal place where he and his musicians could relax for a few days and allow their creative juices to flow. Such a place turned out to be the fabulous 15th Century Couronneau in Ligueux, deep in classic Bordeaux country, and Songs From The Chateau was born. To capture the authentic sound of the all star band Kyle has on display, producer Crofton Orr and the engineering of Simone Griva were enlisted. Also on board was long time collaborator Michael Stevens (co-writer with Kyle on the scores for films including Changeling and Gran Torino). The record itself contains more than a casual nod towards France, Kyle's second country. The opener Marciac, scene of the famous jazz festival where Kyle played in 2010, gets the programme underway in impressive fashion as drummer Martyn Kaine ushers in authoritative and fluent solo contributions from the two Graemes (Flowers and Blevins, on trumpet and saxophone, respectively), whilst the admirably atmospheric Moon Over Couronneau shows off the impressive talents of pianist Andrew McCormack. This is in turn underpinned by Kyle himself, who then comes to the fore on Aperitif – a sharpener that goes down very smoothly, in the best sense of the word. Around Kyle, the band is tight through the album, and inventive highlights abound. The vivacious and aptly named Café Calypso sees Blevins getting deeply into the Caribbean grooves with his jaunty and spirited saxophone. The reflective tone of Soul Captain has some tasty McCormack piano complemented by Blevins' soprano. Andalucía is descriptive, enhanced by Kyle's virtuostic solo and hypnotic bass figure, permeated by the haunting trumpet of Graeme Flowers. Flowers' flugelhorn and Kyle's stylish bass lead again on Over The Line while the album finishes with a fond reminiscence of you-know-who, Down At Ronnie's. The band confidently struts its stuff with a highly charged dialogue between the horns, bringing to a close what may well be the best of Eastwood's albums to date. "At home we had music all the time. My father always made sure I listened to jazz. He took me to the Monterey Jazz Festival every year. What was really great was that being the son of Clint gave me backstage access to all the gigs and I was very fortunate to meet and talk with Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis and all the legends..." Kyle Eastwood A worldwide tour in Japan, Europe and United States will follow the release of the album.
