L`Eclair

      Reminiscent of Head Hunters from the 1970s, L`Eclair is very much a group form the 2020s. L`Eclair is a cosmic instrumental six piece group that hails from Geneva, Switzerland. I spotted L`Eclair on a video performance. On that video L`Eclair performed "Verso", "P+R", and other selections. L`Eclair is heavy with percussion and keyboards. Bass and guitar rounds out L`Eclair. "Cosmologies" is a repetitive piece with layers of keyboard improvisation.


     L`Eclair has three LPs, and an EP. Their debut recording was released in 2017, under the title "Cruise Control".


     L`Eclair has multiple concerts scheduled for Europe. L`Eclair is known for their global groove scene. L`Eclair has developed a following in Switzerland, the Netherlands, the US, and throughout Europe.


     L`Eclair began in 2015. Members of L`Eclair are Sebastien Bui - Keyboard, Stefan Lilov - guitar, Yavor Lilov - drums, Alain Sandri - percussion and keyboard, Quentin Pilet - percussion, and Elie Ghersinu - bass.
