Power Poetic Trio - CREATION - (Claude Tchamitchian - Christophe Monniot - Tom Rainey)

Jazzdor la saison ! will welcome Friday, March 15 at the CSC Fossé des Treize the newest musical creation of double bassist Claude Tchamitchian and who better than him to tell us why / how this new project was created:

After "Traces" and "Need Eden", I wanted to rediscover the intimacy of a light formation while keeping the compositional and orchestral idea that had prevailed during the creation of the sextet and the tentet. The idea of an "orchestral suite" is still there, but with the possibility of a less charged and more suggestive writing as well as the interaction in the game inherent to a small formation. And it was quite naturally that the idea of a trio came up. I also imagined another component to the music I wanted to create: a little like how one can feel when walking in nature, to reflect the feeling of this multitude of elements that interact with each other, in a very "mobile" way such as water, wind, birds, or very "rooted" like trees, hills or mountains. To give substance to this imagination, it was obvious to me to call on Christophe Monniot and Tom Rainey both for their virtuosity so airy and their creativity so deep, as well as for the desire for some time to design a project with them, in a way "tailor-made"!
