Close to me - Jazz double bass - Yves Rousseau
"The centre is where whispers come from" writes François Cheng. It is also from the depths of our being that music emerges, from an inner listening that is demanding to the point of peril. After Continuum, his duo with saxophonist Jean-Marc Larché, double bassist and composer Yves Rousseau returns to the Alps to create an original repertoire, matured over many years and crafted with the love of a craftsman. Between writing and improvisation, with a sound that is broad and deep - here, fullness is the other name for goodness - the musician goes right back to the source of his musical gesture and composes a repertoire in which a few reminiscences and unavoidable references emerge. Come closer, lend an ear and let yourself be carried away by "the vibration of the instrument, its timbres, its resonances, its storms and silences, its whispers and angers, the sound of the string under the fingers, under the hair of the bow". A rare moment.
