Chris Joris in Jazz & Mo’

In een korte liner note vertelt Chris dat hij al jaren instrumenten verzamelt: van een echte piano tot een toy-piano, van blokfluiten tot melodica, van klarinet, klokkenspel tot kleine percussie-objectjes. De contrabas speelt echter de hoofdrol in dit soms mijmerend, soms duister, soms elegant melodisch verhaal. Mentens maakt gebruik van loopstation, effectpedalen en overdubbing. In No Sleep wordt men gegrepen door een meer dramatische toon, waar Mentens op een diepe zelfbegeleiding voluit vertelt op de contrabas. Dit moois gaat verder in Just A Splash en Charwood Lane. In Dad’s Clarinet doorbreekt hij even het figuratieve. Flute Fight refereert grappig naar een vogelconcert op een Balkan-dansje, maar Chris brengt ons terug naar de basdramatiek in de twee laatste stukken, waaronder het legendarische Saint James Infirmary. Verzin je eigen film op deze soundtrack.
