One of the few producers to pursue a real fusion of jazz and house music,
Frenchman Ludovic Navarre began recording in the early 90s using various aliases
(Subsystem, Modus Vivendi, Deepside) for a range of French imprints. St. Germain
debuted in 1994 for Laurent Garniers F Communications label and Navarre released
his first album, Boulevard, in 1996. Featuring trumpeter Pascal Ohse, the album
worked as a hybrid of American R&B and jazz with the growing French house scene
exemplified by Garnier, La Funk Mob, and Dimitri from Paris. Tourist, issued at
the turn of the century by Blue Note, took the concept further, with Navarre
working post-production on a fuller complement of musicians. Navarre has also
remixed such varying artists as Björk, Pierre Henry, and the Suburban Knight.
As St. Germain he signed with Nonesuch in early 2015. In May he announced a
self-titled offering -- his first album of new material in 15 years. Inspired by
his longtime love of Malian music, the album was recorded in Navarres Paris
studio. His stable of studio musicians included Brazilian percussionist Jorge
Bezerra, Malian kora player Mamadou Cherif Soumano, Malian guitarist and ngoni
player Guimba Kouyate, and longtime associate Martiniquais keyboardist Didier
Davidas. St. Germains pre-release single Real Blues was issued in May, while the
album was released that October.
