Silk and Salt Melodies

Silk and Salt Melodies is a jazz album by the Louis Sclavis Quartet recorded March 2014 and released on ECM August later that year. The quartet features Gilles Coronado on guitars, Benjamin Moussay on keys, and Keyvan Chemirani on percussion.

Reception
Karl Ackermann in All About Jazz gave a four and a half star review saying, "Putting Silk and Salt Melodies in the context of Sclavis' larger body of work is somewhat irrelevant; he builds, incorporates and moves on. It's a good philosophy for listening as well."

The Guardian awarded the album four stars, with John Fordham saying, "The Frenchman [Louis Sclavis] is one of the most consistently satisfying, yet surprising jazz-driven composer-players in Europe.... The playing is terrific, but—as so often with Sclavis—the themes are even better."
