| CompositionsTout est parti d’une invitation à jouer le jeu le plus simple, tant apprécié des musiciens au long cours : imaginer ensemble un répertoire où l’on peut tout apporter, compositions personnelles, pièces d’autres compositeurs, joies de l’instant. Une sorte d’album photo partagé, un itinéraire de voyage inhabituel plein de surprises et de détours. Et tout de suite, une série de concerts a fait prendre corps à ce groupe autoproclamé.Ces trois-là se rencontrent pour l’amour du son, pour une certaine idée des beautés fugaces qui traversent parfois la musique, pour l’écoute. Pour la joie qu’on éprouve à tout se permettre, à se pencher ensemble sur des poèmes et à les faire vivre. Un trio rare au son orchestral, large et plein de finesses, qui déploie ses ailes dans une sereine puissance collective.Cool jazz for quiet dreamsDimanche soir, fin de semaine, le 38Riv ralentit le tempo. Place à la douceur du cool jazz, à ses lignes claires, ses tempos posés, ses harmonies feutrées. Inspirée par l’héritage de musiciens comme Chet Baker, Lee Konitz ou Shirley Horn, cette série de concerts met l’accent sur l’écoute, l’épure et le dialogue. Un moment simple, précis, sans fioritures - juste la musique, et ce qu’elle peut encore raconter quand tout se tait autour.
