Saxophonist Matthieu Bordenave (b.1983, Tarbes, France) seemed to arrive fully formed with La Traversée, his 2020 debut for ECM.

Whereas La Traversée blended the casts and colours of 20th century composers Messiaen and Dutilleux with the dirge-like chamber jazz of Giuffre and Bley, The Blue Land leans more heavily into Bordenave's roots in Coltrane and Lloyd.

The saxophonist's decision to introduce the different timbral colours of the soprano is another important musical choice. Featured on around half of the tracks, the smaller horn both expands the group's palette and underscores Bordenave's affinities with the late Wayne Shorter.
