FREQUENCE  119

ALBUM

GILLES BERNARD QUARTET

  Finalist : OPUS Price 2019-2020, Jazz album of the year

FREQUENCE 119, is a new sound that respects the rule while freeing itself from the constraints that it often imposes, merging with the so personal style of the jazz pianist GILLES BERNARD.  A texture where the afro origins, the tradition of the great classics and the bursting that propose the contemporary sonorities mix

... an excellent jazz! ...

DfDanse 8 juillet 2019

At the circus where classical or popular tunes that are too much heard can be boring, these original and live music are a real plus. It's not to mention a very elaborate work of breaks of rhythms, research of angles, and perspectives of cascades which serve ingeniously the context of the art gallery at the same time as that of the performance. The crescendos often rely on distraction, a chain of actions that leads to a peak while another rise is set up discreetly. A final bouquet effect of fireworks all in all, at the top of which triumphed a music festival ...
