Here are some songs of French contemporary jazz trumpeter Erik Truffaz, he uses elements of hip hop, rock and roll and dance music into compositions. He is best known for his improvised style of playing, having signed with the French EMI label in 1996. Truffaz gained international attention for his second album on Blue Note, The Dawn, that had been produced together with Pat Muller, Marcello Giuliani and Mark Erbetta. Since then they produced many Blue Note albums together such as Bending New Corners, which became a Silver Album in France. The last Truffaz release Arkhangelsk is a mixture between pop songs, french songs, and Jazz-groove.
