Sounds Like: ABOUT MY DISCThis record is not only the record of a pianist accompanied by two partners who show their talent and their commitment. This record is also an opportunity to discover a genuine sense of composition for the trio, for strings and woodwind. It is tied up with the pleasure of re-writing famous tunes and to take a journey through different styles, from Brazilian music to classical music (where my roots are…) and to “la chanson française”. As to the privilege to welcome Jean-Luc Ponty on this record, this will give us another occasion to have a hard-bop conversation of our own!!! I chose to have X. Escabasse and F. Lozet because I trust them and because I know they will be able to convey to the listener the emotion and the essence of a live session!William Lecomte Trio projectOriginal compositions and standards arranged by William Lecomte with the support of Thierry Arpino, on drums & Santi Debriano, on double bass. A strings quartet and clarinet, bass clarinet and bassoon participate in the suite entitled: Charlotte-Chocolat-Ver luisant. Carlos Werneck bring the Brazilian tinge on guitar and on bass. And Jean-Luc Ponty who performs a piece on this album. This album is asuccession of themes(with improvised parts) and small interludes (without improvisations). Xavier Escabasse has been in charge of sound engineering and mixing. François Lozet is the artistic director and had managed the recording process. The recording took place in last July, for 4 days, at the Studio de Meudon where Bernard Faulon tuned, controled and took care of the Steinway Concert Grand piano during the entire recording phase.
