Accompagné de Lucas Belkhiri au piano et Francesco Marzetti à la batterie, Benjamin Asnar nous faisait découvrir en février ses compositions aux teintes méditerranées et latines. Il vient aujourd’hui nous présenter son premier album « K » !

Bassiste et compositeur, Benjamin Asnar puise la base de son esthétique dans les nombreuses cultures du monde qui l’entoure en la mêlant tout naturellement à ses influences traditionnelles du jazz. La recette pour une musique éclectique et énergique !

Il s’entoure de Lucas Belkhiri, pianiste de formation classique appréhende le jazz en n'y apportant de nouvelles idées et textures ainsi que Francesco Marzetti, batteur au groove sulfureux doué d'une profonde connaissance des musiques méditerranéennes allant de la musique gnawa au flamenco, et du jazz."(...) ce trio infuse une musique ancrée dans les racines du jazz, étonnement légère et aérienne qui, de Kaddish en ouverture à Gaby qui referme ce bel album groove à tout va."
