Influences: The music of Charlier & Sourisse flows like a flood of enthusiasm. It embodies the jubilation of performing together and a certain communicative generosity.With their third opus "Heritage", Andre Charlier and Benoit Sourisse invite us to travel through the paths of their musical roots, nursed by the organic and original elements of jazz: African rhythms (poetry of sounds and percussions) and European harmony light blend by the virgin soil of Louisiana. The album presents an encounter with American guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel (accompanist with Brad Mehldau, Mark Turner etc) whose unusual lyricism and phrasing pull him up to the rank of the biggest musicians today. Two high standing French musicians are also present: Stephane Guillaume (saxophone, clarinet) and Pierre Perchaud (guitar, banjo).A long storyFor fifteen years, Charlier and Sourisse have entertained a musical and human relationship of a rare quality and longevity. This impression is amply confirmed after all their collaborations with Didier Lockwood, John Mac Laughlin, Kenny Garrett, Jean-Jacques Milteau, Jerry Bergonzi, Mighty Mo Rodgers, Captain Mercier, etc. Andre and Benoit give to each project their participation in an exceptional color, cohesion and swing. The alchemy of stamps evokes a time when groove and 'warm music' are united (association of organ and piano, of drums and percussions). This patina is tinged with resolutely new colors thanks to a constant concern of "peril research" in improvisation, through compositions where melody is the most important. A subtle and dynamic jazz where Andre and Benoit play the appropriate game for little stories that they tell us so well.A long storyFor fifteen years, Charlier and Sourisse have entertained a musical and human relationship of a rare quality and longevity.
