Rouge is an album by French jazz musician Louis Sclavis released in 1991 on the ECM label.[1][2]
Reception[]
In a review for Jazzwise, Robert Shore wrote: "I don't know what the Frenchman's inspiration for the title of this recording was – Rouge (Red) – but there's a fair bit of intergalactic shimmering going on in clarinetist/saxophonist Sclavis's ECM debut from 1991. And, of course, ECM is very good at capturing this sort of soundscape... It's a heady brew, pitched somewhere between avant-garde jazz and chamber music."[3] According to The Penguin Guide to Jazz, "Sclavis's ECM debut is a challenging and surprisingly abstract set that rarely allows itself to settle into a jazz groove. Rouge establishes Sclavis as an enterprising and thought-provoking composer. If it does so at the expense of rhythmic energy (a strategy consistent with his ambivalence about jazz percussion), it doesn't short-change in other departments."[4]
