The Dawn Part I - Mobile In Motion Less - Pierre Audetat Bending New Corners - Alex Gopher More - Pierre Henry Goo - Siegfried Sweet Mercy - Bugge Wesseltoft The Dawn Part II - Mobile In Motion. Employing heavyweight ambient, 2-step, jazz and electronica artists such as Alex Gopher, Bugge Wesseltoft and Mobile in Motion, Revisite offers the same batch of Milesian tunes from The Mask, but instead of constructing new rhythmic pulses or arrangements to deter any comparisons to Miles, Revisit‚ exposes Truffaz’s fawning emulations of the prince of darkness even more.

But like last year’s The Mask, the sloppy seconds remix CD Revisite (Blue Note 7243 5 32612 2 47:43 ) isn’t going to sway anyone who sees Truffaz as a limited trumpeter, regurgitating the fusion innovations of Miles Davis. Wesseltoft's dark blend of Rhodes, acoustic bass, drum samples, and rap vocal snippets on "Sweet Mercy" represents a new kind of musical mosaic, an idea with a very promising future.French trumpeter and composer Erik Truffaz has been so heavily involved with electronica that it may cause you to pose that old, stuffy argument: Can he really play? Well it took me going back to his 1997 CD, Out of a Dream (still not available in the U.S.), to convince me that he indeed can hold his own without the safety net of loops, drum programming and Pro Tools. There's a mellow, even minimalistic vibe to much of the music, with the possible exception of Alex Gopher's party-worthy "Bending New Corners." Truffaz's sparse trumpet work over these electronic loops and grooves does, of course, recall Miles Davis, but what's interesting about this record, and others like it, is that it signifies a new direction in music - not a throwback to fusion, not a concession to commercial pressures, but a fecund meeting of some very different yet complementary musical minds. Like Truffaz himself, these musical seekers hail from Europe - Pierre Audétat, Alex Gopher, Pierre Henry, Goo, and Bugge Wesseltoft, as well as Mobile in Motion (Christophe Calpini and Fred Hashadourian), which splits "The Dawn" into two parts that respectively open and close the album.
In a bid to crosspollinate jazz with new sounds being explored in ambient and electronica, Truffaz enlists the talents of six guest artists to reinterpret his work through their own experimental points of view. The seven tracks on Revisité are "remixes" of tunes that Erik Truffaz, the adventurous French trumpeter, previously explored with his jazz quartet.
