Rocky Gresset Quartet at Jazz Club Étoile

Thomas Dutronc's travelling companion, Rocky Gresset is one of the leading figures of the new generation of Gypsy jazz. Proud of his origins and an outstanding representative of an entire musical culture, Rocky has not limited himself to a single musical style, and his open-mindedness has made him one of the most sought-after jazz guitarists today. Equally at home with Django standards or a more bop repertoire, he will be presenting a project under his own name, a condensed blend of his various influences. Surrounded by his usual rhythm section with Mathieu Chatelain on rhythm guitar and Jérémie Arranger on double bass, they will be joined throughout the evening by saxophonist Gilles Barikoski, to form a quartet, a link between swing and bop!...

Compagnon de route de Thomas Dutronc, Rocky Gresset est une des figures majeures de la nouvelle génération du Jazz manouche. Fier de ses origines et représentant émérite de toute une culture musicale, Rocky ne s'est pas pour autant limité à un seul style musical et son ouverture d'esprit fait qu'il est à l'heure actuelle un des guitaristes de jazz les plus demandés. Aussi à l'aise sur des standards de Django que dans un répertoire plus bop, il vient pour ce concert nous présenter un projet sous son nom qui est un condensé de ses différentes influences. Entouré par sa section rythmique habituelle avec Mathieu Chatelain à la guitare rythmique et Jérémie Arranger à la contrebasse, ils seront rejoints au cours de la soirée par le saxophoniste Gilles Barikoski, pour former un quartet, trait d'union entre swing et bop !
