Stephane Kerecki - French Touch Music CD

Stéphane Kerecki grew up with a passion for jazz and electronic music; it is by wanting to gather these two interests that the bass player decided to devote himself to this project. Starting from the desire to stay in an acoustic context and to play these themes as if they were Jazz themes (no electronic instrument is used apart from the effects on the Fender Rhodes), all the recorded music has been played live. This record is part of the tradition of Jazz which has always been to appropriate the popular music of his time and add to his repertoire to improvise. "His total instrumental mastery and his intelligence of the sound organization allow him, escaping the clichés of the double bass... to impose himself in the heart of a set as a major voice..." (Philippe Carles)
