Pierre de Bethmann continues with a new trio formula, with guitarist extraordinaire Nelson Veras joining his voice to that of Sylvain Romano's piano and double bass.With a sound that's both more intimate and marked by strong personalities, this new trio continues to explore all the riches of a repertoire of standards from multiple musical traditions, sometimes transformed according to the harmonic and rhythmic inspiration of the musicians, sometimes chosen on the fly, always worked on in depth over the course of concerts.And to build a sound with two exceptional partners, whose careers speak for themselves, and who never tire of cultivating the science of music as an art of living.All this to try, again and again, to try to find a little meaning outside any dogmatism, to taste the necessary joy of sharing, and thus to allow ourselves the greatest of luxuries: that of taking the time.-The four albums, Essais Vol1, Vol2, Vol3 & Vol4, produced by ALÉA, grouped together in a box set with a special supplement released in November 2020, were successively Indispensable JazzNews, Choc Jazz Magazine, fff Télérama, Top Mezzo, Elu Citizen Jazz, Hit Couleurs Jazz.The fifth Essais / Volume 5 album was released in January 2023, and won Choc Jazz Magazine and Indispensable JazzNews awards....

Pierre de Bethmann poursuit sa route autour d'une nouvelle formule de trio, l'extraordinaire guitariste Nelson Veras joignant sa voix à celle du piano, et de la contrebasse de Sylvain Romano.Par un son à la fois plus intimiste et marqué par de fortes personnalités, ce nouveau trio continue à explorer toutes les richesses d'un répertoire de standards issus de multiples traditions musicales, parfois transformés au gré de l'inspiration harmonique et rythmique des musiciens, parfois choisis sur le vif, toujours travaillés en profondeur au fil des concerts.Egalement pour construire un son avec deux partenaires d'exception, dont les parcours parlent d'eux-mêmes, et qui ne se lassent de cultiver la science de la musique comme un art de vivre.Tout cela pour essayer, encore et encore, tâcher de chercher un peu de sens hors de tout dogmatisme, goûter à la joie nécessaire du partage, et se permettre ainsi le plus grand des luxes : celui de prendre le temps.—Les quatre albums, Essais Vol1, Vol2, Vol3 & Vol4, produits par ALÉA, regroupés en un coffret avec supplément spécial paru en novembre 2020, ont été successivement Indispensable JazzNews, Choc Jazz Magazine, fff Télérama, Top Mezzo, Elu Citizen Jazz, Hit Couleurs Jazz.Le cinquième album Essais / Volume 5 paraissait en janvier 2023, et est récompensé d'un Choc Jazz Magazine et Indispensable JazzNews.
