about

Bien connu du public par ses multiples concerts en sol jazz ou autres, le contrebassiste Frédéric Alarie s’est lancé dans un projet ambitieux. En 2015 sur l’invitation du contrebassiste Mark Dresser, il donna une série de concerts et de conférences à l’International Society of Bassists, puis par la même occasion il eut accès à la contrebasse du légendaire instrumentiste Scott LaFaro. Trop tôt disparu à l’âge de 25 ans dans un accident d’automobile, un peu comme le trompettiste Clifford Brown, LaFaro fut le complice des premières années du grand pianiste Bill Evans. Comme le fit Jimmy Blanton (Duke Ellington), ainsi que Charles Mingus, il devint malgré ses jeunes années, un maitre pour le moins incontournable. Du dialogue à la conception rythmique, Scott LaFaro est au cœur du travail de tous les contrebassistes.

Dans cet esprit, Frédéric Alarie lui rends donc un hommage très touchant, et surtout pour les amateurs de contrebasse, à cette comète du jazz. En huit plages bien senties, Frédéric Alarie combine en doublé sa contrebasse et celle de LaFaro (ce qui est plus qu’un test comparatif), pour une vraie leçon de contrebasse. Vous comprendrez qu’il faut du temps pour assimiler la douceur, le pointillé du jeu et les finesses successives. Avec par une prise de son particulièrement chaude et ronde, nous vous recommandons fortement : Advance Confidently et Love Begin. Cette mise en bouche, un peu comme un grand vin se déguste lentement, ce qui est rare de nos jours. En plus des compositions personnelles, vous reconnaitrez aussi Lonnie's Lament (John Coltrane) et le très beau Leaving de Richie Beirach avec John Roney au piano et Ron Di Lauro à la trompette. Affirmons-le, c’est un disque important qui s’adresse à tout un chacun.

Contrebasse de Scott Lafaro & contrebasse Lamario 5 cordes transformable en 4 cordes *

Well known to the public by his many concerts in jazz and other soil, bassist Frédéric Alarie embarked on an ambitious project. In 2015 at the invitation of bassist Mark Dresser, he gave a series of concerts and lectures at the International Society of Bassists, and at the same time he had access to the bass of legendary instrumentalist Scott LaFaro. Too soon disappeared at the age of 25 in a car accident, much like trumpet player Clifford Brown, LaFaro was the accomplice of the early years of the great pianist Bill Evans. As Jimmy Blanton (Duke Ellington) and Charles Mingus did, he became, in spite of his younger years, a master to say the least. From dialogue to rhythmic freedom, Scott LaFaro is at the heart of the work of all bassists.

With this in mind, Frédéric Alarie pays him a very touching tribute, and especially for lovers of the doublebass, to this comet of jazz. In eight well-worn beaches, Frédéric Alarie combines his double bass and LaFaro's (which is more than a comparative test) for a real double bass lesson. You will understand that it takes time to assimilate the sweetness, the dotted game and the successive finesse. With a particularly warm and rounded sound, we strongly recommend: Advance Confidently and Love Begin. This appetizer, a bit like a great wine is tasted slowly, which is rare nowadays. In addition to personal compositions, you'll also recognize Lonnie's Lament (John Coltrane) and Richie Beirach's beautiful Leaving with John Roney on piano and Ron Di Lauro on trumpet. Affirm it, this is an important album that is addressed to everyone.
