Jean-Christophe Cholet - Whispers '2016

Tracks list

At the intersection of classical music and jazz, the French composer and pianist
Jean-Christophe Cholet is a master in making small intense parts, without
artifice. Whispers on it revives Matthieu Michel, his partner of 20 years, to
put together the foundations of a hushed but profound dialogue as a long
continuous breath. 

Recorded at La Buissonne, this new album puts essentiality search light of the
duo immersed in an atmosphere of rare serenity. Guided by the producer Gerard de
Haro, Jean-Christophe Cholet and Matthieu Michel Whispers draped in a deep black
silk greenery which blends light exchanges and dramatic dives, taking care to
rule out demonstrative virtuosity. The complementary duo shows evidence of
collaboration, able to dress the space with little notes, without ever giving
way to a feeling of emptiness. 

Invited to share this unique moment, Ramon Lopez (drums) and Didier Ithursarry
(accordion) complement the compositions of the duo without disfiguring. The
original breath two a new dimension to three or four. An ease in the interaction
between the musicians that proves how this Whispers has been designed in the
best way: a search count and simplicity, opening the way to the fluid expression
of deeply personal songs and live.
