Soir et basalte

by Jean Lapouge

supported by

mili1 After a sumptuous "Quadrilogie" and a magical collaboration with Kent Carter, here is a new beautiful album, a stripped music (guitar & bass only) very close to ECM soundscapes. A great jazz guitar album.I still highly recommand Jean Lapouge's new album !!

about

Il y a trois ou quatre ans, quand j'ai proposé à Nicolas Lapouge, mon fils, de faire partie de mon trio avec Christian Pabœuf, j'ai remarqué, dès les premières répétitions, que le son de sa “fretless bass” se mariait particulièrement bien au son de ma propre guitare. Le moment venu, le duo sembla une évidence.

La proximité musicale entre un père et son fils ne va pas toujours de soi. Leurs goûts musicaux peuvent même être très différents. Dans notre cas, il semblerait que nous soyons restés sur la même ligne : le petit garçon qui écoutait dans un coin, des heures durant, les répétitions de Noëtra, l'adolescent abreuvé d'Eberhard Weber et d'Egberto Gismonti, est devenu un bassiste de jazz accompli.

Le programme du CD restitue en partie notre parcours : un peu de Noëtra, un hommage à mes influences, et des inédits. Pour rester dans le même esprit familial, j'ai encore emprunté une œuvre de mon frère François pour illustrer notre musique...

Three or four years ago, when I asked my son Nicolas Lapouge to join my trio with Christian Pabœuf, I noticed from the very first rehearsals that the sound of his fretless bass blended particularly well with the sound of my own guitar. When the time came, the duo seemed an obvious choice.
Musical closeness between father and son is not always self-evident. Their musical tastes can be very different indeed. In our case, we seem to have stayed on the same path: the little boy in the corner, who listened for hours to the Noëtra rehearsals, the teenager who drank in Eberhard Weber and Egberto Gismonti, has become an accomplished jazz bassist.
The CD's program reflects part of our journey: a little bit of Noëtra, a tribute to my influences, and some previously unreleased material. In keeping with the family spirit, I've also borrowed a work by my brother François to illustrate our music...

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk
