Take the MOL Train: Yves Robert Trio (F) – BMC album debut concert at Opus Jazz Club

“Building on a remarkable technique and a fertile imagination, French trombonist Yves Robert has created a very personal universe which sometimes expands beyond the confines of jazz but never bows to fashion.” allmusic.com

Yves Robert, born in 1958, is an emblematic figure of French jazz. He has played with Daniel Humair, Loius Sclavis, Joëlle Leandre; and among his international partners we find McCoy Tyner, Paul Bley, John Zorn, Derek Bailey, Nguyên Lê, Steve Lacy and Dee Dee Bridgewater, just to name a few. He studied flute and trombone at the Music Conservatory in Vichy and after finishing his studies he soon earned a growing reputation by playing in such well-known groups as Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Bernard Lubat's La Compagnie Lubat, and the first edition of the Orchestre National de Jazz in 1986. Soon he created his own projects as well, revealing the wide range of his musical ideas. His first project as a bandleader was a trio with bassist Bruno Chevillon and drummer Aaron Scott, formed in 1988. He reached international fame through his highly acclaimed ECM releases, especially In Touch, released in 2002. He’s had several groups and projects since, with music in the widest range, from electronica through hip-hop flavoured jazz to contemporary improvisations....

In February 2014 Opus Jazz Club hosted his trio, including Bruno Chevillon on double bass and Cyril Atef on drums. Formed in 2008, this outstanding outfit plays modern jazz rich in imagination and warmth, performed with striking technical skills. The concert was a huge success and listening to it's recording afterwards, both the members of the trio and the BMC-Opus staff decided to release it in the jazz series of the BMC Records label. So two weeks after his Opus-performance with TEE Ensemble, Yves Robert returns to the club to present their brand new release.
