“… with Algerian guitarist Pierre Bensusan,The Bridge Jazz Festival show also helped to build a bridge across musical genres. At the conclusion of his 45-minute set, there was no doubt that he had earned his slot on a jazz festival… Bensusan is a dazzling instrumentalist, as he proved most emphatically with “The Alchemist.” And while not possessing a powerhouse set of pipes … with his bottomless imagination, he was at his best when he gave himself free rein with stunning scat singing and wordless vocalizations, as on his epic, set-closer “Bamboul’ete,” earning him a well-deserved standing ovation.”
