Thomas Delor Trio at 38 Riv

Few drummers assume the role of leader and composer. With rare exceptions, the results often sacrifice the subtleties of melodic and harmonic development, solely in favor of asymmetrical measures and complex tempo changes: the trio of French musician Thomas Delor, accompanied by guitarist Simon Martineau and double bassist Georges Correia, radically breaks the rule.Thomas Delor has succeeded in turning his trio into a unique group, with an unusual language, inimitable nuances and subtle yet explosive creativity. His compositions, arrangements and interpretations follow a similar, identifiable treatment from the very first note, based on an exploration of his instrument that seems limitless, transforming it into a delicate blend of rhythmic melodist and colorist.The trio presents its latest album, “Silence The 13th”, released on Fresh Sound New Talent (“4 stars” by Jazz Magazine, “4 stars” by Jazz Journal (UK), “Elected” by Citizen Jazz, voted “Indispensable” by Paris-Move/Blues Magazine)....

Peu de batteurs assument le rôle de leader et de compositeur. Sauf rares exceptions, les résultats sacrifient souvent les subtilités du développement mélodique et harmonique, uniquement en faveur de mesures asymétriques et de changements de tempo complexes : le trio du musicien français Thomas Delor, accompagné du guitariste Simon Martineau et du contrebassiste Georges Correia, fait radicalement entorse à la règle.Thomas Delor est parvenu à faire de son trio un groupe unique, au langage inhabituel, aux nuances inimitables et à la créativité à la fois subtile et explosive. Ses compositions, ses arrangements et les interprétations suivent un traitement similaire et identifiable dès la première note, basé sur l’exploration de son instrument qui nous parait sans limite, le transformant en un délicat mélange de rythmicien mélodiste coloriste.Le trio présente son dernier album « Silence The 13th » sorti sur Fresh Sound New Talent (« 4 étoiles » par Jazz Magazine, « 4 étoiles » par Jazz Journal (UK), « Elu » par Citizen Jazz, élu « Indispensable » par Paris-Move/Blues Magazine).
