Franck Monbaylet Quartet at Le Baiser Sale

Franck Monbaylet proposes, with a new quartet, his project "Les Notes d'un Voyageur" in which he reveals a music inspired by jazz, pop, classical, Arabo-Andalusian and ethnic music. Deeply inspired by the cities that welcomed him during his travels, Franck Monbaylet puts into music the emotions they made him feel. From Havana to Shanghai, through Rio, Zagreb, Moscow, New York, Reykjavik, Fez or Muscat, the repertoire of this band takes us to the heart of his travels. The magic of images, smells and encounters have inspired him to write notes. These notes gathered in scores gave birth to works reflecting his undeniable attraction for many cultures.This hybrid set offers beautiful combinations of sounds that connect us to the vibratory heritage of the Earth. The various percussion instruments (derbouka, cajon, pandeiro, daf...) of Maurice Merizen, take us directly to the heart of the journey. The cello of Prosper Sibertin-Blanc, a classically trained musician, offers the necessary depth. The virtuoso ease of William Brunard, Biréli Lagrène's double bass player, brings the link between writing and improvisation. Franck Monbaylet on the piano, happy captain of this beautiful formation, combines subtlety and power, always free in his rhythmic and harmonic expression to color his playing with all his classical, jazz and ethnic influences. The pleasure of playing together is there, you can feel it, see it and hear it, boarding immediately for a world tour of sensations....

Franck Monbaylet propose, avec un nouveau quartet, son projet « Les Notes d’un Voyageur » dans lequel il nous révèle une musique d’inspiration jazz, pop, classique, arabo-andalouse, ethnique. Profondément inspiré par les villes qui l’ont accueilli lors de ses voyages, Franck Monbaylet met en musique les émotions qu’elles lui ont fait ressentir. De La Havane à Shanghai, en passant par Rio, Zagreb, Moscou, New York, Reykjavik, Fez ou encore Muscat, le répertoire de cette formation nous emporte au cœur de ses voyages. La magie des images, des odeurs et des rencontres lui ont inspiré des notes. Ces notes rassemblées en partitions ont donné naissance à des œuvres reflétant son attrait indéniable pour de nombreuses cultures.Ce set hybride offre de belles combinaisons de sonorités qui nous relient à l’héritage vibratoire de la Terre. Les différents instruments de percussions (derbouka, cajon, pandeiro, daf…) de Maurice Merizen, nous emmènent directement au cœur du voyage. Le violoncelle de Prosper Sibertin-Blanc, musicien classique de formation, offre la profondeur nécessaire. L’aisance virtuose de William Brunard, contrebassiste de Biréli Lagrène, apporte le lien entre écriture et improvisation.  Franck Monbaylet au piano, en capitaine heureux de cette belle formation, allie subtilité et puissance, toujours libre dans son expression rythmique et harmonique de colorer son jeu de toutes ses influences classiques, jazz et ethniques.  Le plaisir de jouer ensemble est là, il se sent, il se voit et s’entend, embarquement immédiat pour un tour du Monde des sensations.
