Denise Mangiardi Quartet at Le Baiser Sale

Four personalities, four backgrounds, and a shared desire to play together: this is the spirit of the Denise Mangiardi Quartet. Around Denise Mangiardi's voice and piano, the music flows freely, with elegance but without ever taking itself too seriously. Trained in jazz, classical music, and musical theater, she composes and performs music that is refined, sensitive, and full of depth. Her voice moves naturally from intimacy to momentum, always in close conversation with the piano.On saxophone, Robby Marshall brings color and imagination. His playing is fluid, expressive, sometimes surprising, always sincere. He likes to explore, play with forms, and let the music breathe while keeping the melodic thread firmly in hand. On drums, Jeff Boudreaux lays down a solid and lively rhythm. Accustomed to stages around the world, he combines energy, precision, and flexibility, giving the group a foundation that grooves and breathes.The bass, still to be confirmed, will complete the adventure with a style that is both stable and mobile, essential for bringing the whole ensemble together. Different in their worlds but very attentive to each other, these musicians invent a common language and give birth to a joyful, spontaneous, and resolutely lively jazz!...

Quatre personnalités, quatre parcours, et une même envie de jouer ensemble : voilà l’esprit du Denise Mangiardi Quartet. Autour de la voix et du piano de Denise Mangiardi, la musique circule librement, avec élégance mais sans jamais se prendre trop au sérieux. Formée aussi bien au jazz qu’au classique et au théâtre musical, elle compose et interprète une musique fine, sensible, pleine de relief. Sa voix passe naturellement de l’intime à l’élan, toujours en conversation complice avec le piano.Au saxophone, Robby Marshall apporte couleur et imagination. Son jeu est fluide, expressif, parfois surprenant, toujours sincère. Il aime explorer, jouer avec les formes, laisser respirer la musique tout en gardant le fil mélodique bien en main. À la batterie, Jeff Boudreaux pose une rythmique solide et vivante. Habitué des scènes du monde entier, il allie énergie, précision et souplesse, donnant au groupe une base qui groove et qui respire.La basse, encore en cours de confirmation, viendra compléter l’aventure avec un jeu à la fois stable et mobile, indispensable pour souder l’ensemble. Différents dans leurs univers mais très à l’écoute les uns des autres, ces musiciens inventent un langage commun et font naître un jazz joyeux, spontané, et résolument vivant !
