Duooud Piano at Table D'emile

What is there in common between classical music, jazz, and world music? Simply a common ground: music. Coming to explore this land with the eyes of the other is a bit like William Lecomte, one of the best jazz pianists, and Lucien Zerrad, superb guitarist, eclectic arranger, here in the Oud, are committed to do with this ambitious and delicate project: revisit, with their baggage, their memories, their experiences and their sensitivity to great standards of classical or popular music: to two, to make Brahms, Fauré, Schubert ring for example in the Oud and the Piano, and to give to these composers, by the exploration of parallel worlds to the themes of improvisation, a contemporary and playful existence.

What is there in common between classical music, jazz, and world music? Simply a common ground: music. Coming to explore this land with the eyes of the other is a bit like William Lecomte, one of the best jazz pianists, and Lucien Zerrad, superb guitarist, eclectic arranger, here in the Oud, are committed to do with this ambitious and delicate project: revisit, with their baggage, their memories, their experiences and their sensitivity to great standards of classical or popular music: to two, to make Brahms, Fauré, Schubert ring for example in the Oud and the Piano, and to give to these composers, by the exploration of parallel worlds to the themes of improvisation, a contemporary and playful existence.

Qu’y a t il de commun entre le classique, le jazz, et la musique du monde ? Simplement une terre commune : la musique. Venir explorer cette terre avec le regard de l’autre, c’est un peu ce que William Lecomte, un des meilleurs pianistes de Jazz, et Lucien Zerrad, superbe guitariste, arrangeur éclectique, ici au Oud, s’attachent à faire avec ce projet ambitieux et délicat : revisiter, avec leur bagage, leurs souvenirs, leurs expériences et leur sensibilité de grands standards de la musique classique ou populaire : à deux, faire sonner Brahms, Fauré, Schubert par exemple au Oud et au Piano, et donner à ces compositeurs, par l’exploration des mondes parallèles aux thèmes que sont les improvisations, une existence toute contemporaine et ludique. Histoire de dire aussi qu’il n’y a pas de petite ou de grande musique, mais de petits ou de grands musiciens. Cela tombe bien. Ces deux là sont grands.
