Summary:

Marked by a bond developed over time, a concert where all the strings sing. It’s a bond born of a common mentor, since Didier Lockwood and Bireli Lagrene crossed paths for a joint tribute to their mentor on the albums Tribute To Stéphane and For Stéphane. This complicity, forged in the studio and onstage, explains why the violinist invited the guitarist to join him, along with the appealing American double bassist, Darryl Hall. Before a receptive audience, the long, virtuoso improvisations develop a contemporary music, full of swing and lyricism. Bireli Lagrene, the former gypsy child prodigy, had long been inspired by Django Reinhardt before developing his own personal identity fed by jazz fusion while working with bassist Jaco Pastorius and guitarists Larry Coryell and Al Di Meola. Yet he never really rejected his roots, because he founded Gipsy Project, a group with which he recorded two albums. His composition, "Place du Tertre," falls within this gypsy musical spirit. Thanks to his flexible thinking, as well as his well-known esthetic eclecticism, Didier Lockwood, who spent the beginning of his career with Magma, easily dialogues with the guitarist on tunes as varied as Sonny Rollins’s "Pent Up House," "Nuage," and an invigorating version of Chick Corea’s "Spain." A committed teacher, he invites Fiona Monbet, whom he discovered when she was only ten years old. Philippe Lesage
