Renaud Garcia-Fons ‎• La Vie Devant Soi

 

En su nuevo disco La Vie Devant Soi, el bajista franco-catalán Renaud García Fons vuelve a su ciudad natal, París. El título del álbum proviene del libro La Vie Devant Soi de Romain Gary de 1975. Cuenta la historia de una conexión extraordinaria entre un huérfano árabe y una madre judía. Para este proyecto, Renaud García Fons invitó a David Venitucci (acordeón) y Stephen Caracci (vibraciones y percusión). En trío, exploran los límites del jazz de una manera innovadora y experimental. Renaud García Fons expresa su credo en sus propias palabras de la siguiente manera (la idea subyacente es) crear una especie de música de cámara, tocar juntos, buscando matices y texturas sonoras desde una base acústica. El álbum es una brillante mezcla de música, groove, poesía y los sonidos del París nostálgico desde los ojos de un gran artista.

It was perhaps inevitable that one day, the intrepid musical explorer Renaud Garcia-Fons would come back his native Paris, cosmopolitan capital, cultural crossroads for artists of all nationalities to which city the Franco-Catalan bassist dedicates his new album La vie devant soi. The title is from the book by Ajar/Gary, which tells of “the extraordinary bond between a little Arab orphan and a Jewish mama”.
For this project Garcia-Fons has brought together David Venitucci (accordion) and Stephen Caracci (vibes and percussion) accomplices in innovation and experimentation on the margins of jazz. The underlying idea, essential to the Garcia-Fons credo, being “to create a kind of chamber music, to play together, searching for nuances and sound textures from an acoustic base”.
Known for his mastery of flamenco, his musical expeditions to India and the East, his love for the Mediterranean basin, Renaud Garcia-Fons felt the need to go elsewhere. Here he’s following the chronology of a multi-faceted city from the 19th. Century French School to Parisian Jazz. “If I only made Mediterranean or oriental music, I’d be limiting myself; I’ve got more than that in my luggage. I was listening to Satie and Debussy long before I heard Munir Bashir…”
And what we get are eleven discreet Parisian scenes. A nose-tapping tip of the hat to Prévert, Doisneau, Michel Simon. From the busy,bustling Montmartre en Courant to the achingly moving Le long de la Seine. Groove and poetry, nostalgia and pure cheek….an ode to humanity. Jean-Stephane Brosse
