Clover Trio at L'apostrophe

The Clover Trio draws its inspiration from Jazz, Pop and Rock. Harvest, their first album, invites us to discover a music that unceasingly pushes further its point of balance, sometimes featuring hypnotic grooves. Emerging from the encounter between these singular personalities along with their original compositions and the re-interpretation of pop standards like Isn't She Lovely or Imagine, a contemplative, elegant and intense world is born.Damien Argentieri (organ) is known for his collaboration with, amongst others, Lionel Loueke, Jean-Jacques Milteau or Didier Lockwood. His powerful and sophisticated touch merges with the subtle performance of Sébastien Lanson (guitar), imbued with the spirit of the West Coast of the United States where he spent ten years, notably with Louie Bellson's orchestra, Jon Faddis but also John Worley Jr. Over this complicit dialogue, Benoist Raffin's (Drums) natural groove hovers, making of his art an unusual adventure, refined along with Steve Potts, Bobby Few or Jean-Loup Longnon." I like the integrity and the beautiful interaction of the Clover trio. The chemistry between the three musicians really brought the magic out. Harvest is a beautiful album."Lionel Loueke...

Le Clover Trio puise son inspiration dans des influences jazz, pop et rock. Harvest, son premier album, invite à découvrir une musique au groove parfois hypnotique qui repousse sans cesse son point d’équilibre. De la rencontre entre ces personnalités singulières naît un univers contemplatif, élégant et intense avec des compositions originales et des relectures de standards comme Isn’t She Lovely ou Imagine.Le toucher sophistiqué et puissant de Damien Argentieri (orgue), connu pour ses collaborations avec Lionel Loueke, Jean-Jacques Milteau ou Didier Lockwood, fusionne avec le jeu subtil de Sébastien Lanson (guitare), empreint de l’esprit de la côte ouest des Etats-Unis où il a passé dix ans avec, notamment, l’orchestre de Louie Bellson, mais aussi Jon Faddis ou encore John Worley Jr. Sur ce dialogue complice plane le groove naturel de Benoist Raffin (batterie) qui fait de son art une aventure insolite, peaufinée aux côtés de Steve Potts, Bobby Few ou Jean-Loup Longnon."J'aime l'intégrité et la belle interaction du Clover trio, l’alchimie entre les trois musiciens est vraiment magique. Harvest est un bel album."Lionel Loueke
