Useiden tunnetuimpien rockmuusikoidemme ja muun muassa fantasiajazz-yhtye XL:n taustalta tutun Arttu Takalon uusin kokoonpano L'Alliance Takalo perustettiin vuonna 2015 esittämään musiikkia vibrafonisti-säveltäjän kahdeksalta soololevyltä. Syyskuussa 2017 L'Alliance Takalo -albumi tuli ulos edeltäjiensä tapaan Rockadillo Recordsille, mutta musiikki on aikaisempia levyjä akustisempaa ja hienovaraisesti modernin jazzin kanssa flirttailevaa. Pariisilaisesta bistrotunnelmasta ammentava levy sisältää säveltäjänsä mukaan "eurooppalaisia, piiloromanttisia ja lähes kulturelleja sävyjä". Elokuvamaisten melodioiden ja koskettavien sovitusten mestarin kokoama allianssi tulkitsee tunnelmia kuin pieni kamariorkesteri, herkällä korvalla toinen toistaan kuunnellen ja ympäristöään aistien.
