Pierrick Pédron - Pedron Rubalcaba (2023) [Official Digital Download]

The sound of the saxophone in the evening at the back of a piano or when two soloists soliloquize in concert, that’s what Pierrick Pédron proposes to us on the viola and Gonzalo Rubalcaba on the black and white keys. The story of an almost improbable duet between a Breton sax and a Cuban piano, the meeting takes place in New-York.

Highlighting the instruments and crossing musical thoughts for a meeting that plays with jousts and explores for each and together revisits standards with an aestheticism of discoverers more than of clearers. It is indeed much more than a rereading that the two companions deliver to us, but an abundance of sounds that cross between attentiveness and delirium.

To associate Sidney Bechet, Carla Bley and Jerome Kern, it was necessary to dare and the arrangements signed by the pianist Laurent Courthaliac are not for nothing. In the game of questions and answers started on these pages to be refreshed, each one slips a pin in the game of the other and the thread is unraveled in a complicity achieved which is perceived in a marasmus which finally becomes harmonic.
