Co-founder of the trio Prysm (5 albums on the Blue Note label), Christophe Wallemme has since released four other albums (Time zone, Namaste, So Many Ways, Ôm Project) as leader.

Cofondateur du trio Prysm (5 albums sur le label Blue Note), Christophe Wallemme a depuis publié quatre autres albums (Time zone, Namaste, So Many Ways, Ôm Project) en qualité de leader. Parallèlement le contrebassiste n’en demeure pas moins un sideman recherché qui fait résonner ses 4 cordes auprès David Linx, Pablo Fresu, André Ceccarelli, Ibrahim Maalouf, Eric Séva, Sylvain Beuf…La musique de Christophe Wallemme nous fait voyager à travers bien des contrées. Il nous emmène en voyage et sans vraiment nous forcer la main, nous conduit au gré des rencontres et des fuseaux horaires. Il partage ce chaleureux moment sur scène avec un complice de longue date et l’un des plus grand guitariste européen, improvisateur de génie et chasseur de nouvelles sonorités, Manu Codjia (Emile Parisien, Erik Truffaz, Henri Texier, Michel Portal, Aldo Romano, Tony Malaby…). Ainsi qu’avec le pianiste et claviériste au lyrisme fougueux et à la grande aisance rythmique Léo Montana (Anne Paceo, Agathe Iracema, Irving Acao…) et le jeune batteur talentueux Jules WLM (Ilan Elbaz, Léo Montana…).Cette nouvelle formation fera l’objet de son prochain enregistrement prévu en 2024.
