With subtlety, delicacy and finesse, Laurent Bonnot puts the electric bass at the heart of his musical discourse. It replaces the so-called “harmonic” instruments and gives the project a resolutely atypical aesthetic.
But it is especially the repertoire of Songs for Louisa that is innovative. The project could be defined as a transposition in music of the literary movement OuLiPo (Raymond Queneau, Georges Perec…). There is here an asserted will to push back the limits of jazz improvisation. The complex metrics change every measure, and the incessant modulations, lead the listener to no longer find his way around any predefined stylistic knowledge without getting lost.
Laurent Bonnot (bass) invites Marc Copland (piano), Ramon Lopez (drums) and Gueorgui Kornazov (trombone) to shape his compositions. Four unparalleled jazz musicians come together to paint a musical watercolor of impressionist and impressive beauty. Hypnotic bass lines, millimeter rhythms, sophisticated harmonies and subtle melodies, the art of balance has rarely been expressed so well.
