Bec & Ongles at 38 Riv

“Magnificent, sparkling encounter between pianist François de Larrard and drummer Mathieu Bec.”Alex Dutilh - OpenJazz, France Musique“An album inhabited by its musicians is like an evidence, something that can't be explained (or only a little) but that can be heard from the first notes. That's what François de Larrard and Mathieu Bec do for us; their music captures the listener, even if it means holding him captive, and takes him with it down byways that are anything but obscure.” CultureJazz“Clever from start to finish, Floating is a tasty cocktail of balance and freedom.” Jazz à bâbord“Entirely dedicated to the freest improvisation, this record by François de Larrard and Mathieu Bec is a beautiful exchange made of harmony and complexity, where elegance is one of the rare conditions of the exchange.” Citizen Jazz...

"Rencontre magnifique, très étincelante entre le pianiste François de Larrard et le batteur Mathieu Bec."Alex Dutilh — OpenJazz, France Musique"Un disque habité par ses musiciens, c’est comme une évidence, un truc qui ne s’explique pas (ou peu) mais qui s’entend dès les premières notes. François de Larrard et Mathieu Bec nous font ce coup-là ; leur musique capte l’auditeur, quitte à le rendre captif, et l’emporte avec elle sur des chemins de traverses qui n’ont rien d’obscur." CultureJazz"Malin du début à la fin, Floating est un cocktail savoureux d’équilibre et de liberté." Jazz à bâbord"Entièrement dédié à l'improvisation la plus libre, ce disque de François de Larrard et Mathieu Bec est un bel échange fait d'harmonie et de complexité, où l'élégance est une des rares conditions de l'échange."
