Théo Ceccaldi Trio "Django" (FR)

As a jazz musician, you cannot choose to constitute a string trio without seeing the huge shadow of Django Reinhardt coming. This is what happened to Theo Ceccaldi Trio, a virtuoso little formation in unstable equilibrium, more accustomed to frenzied arid, craggy and unmarked territories of the more radical free improvisation than the bright lyricism of a Gypsy violin accompanied by a wild rhythmic pump ...
From original compositions "under influences" and covers of great classics associated with the great guitarist manouche, lovingly resonated and reinvented, the small group here finds the right distance from its illustrious model, daring the direct emotion of the first degree, going smoothly from a disheveled lyricism to communicative energy, borrowing some canvas of gypsy jazz to magnify the virtues and update the codes, Theo Ceccaldi Trio shows here the extent of his knowledge and the absolute freedom of his inspiration.
