Romane - Richard Manetti father and son Jazz
Romane - Richard Manetti father and son Jazz
Having music in your blood, is that just an expression? There is something unique that the listener can pick up on this record and the bond of filiation has a lot to do with it. In addition to the understanding between two essential guitarists, an inestimable share of respect and love transpires from this recording. Romane knew how to transmit her passion for music, but also her elegance. The precise and generous foundation, as well as the swing, of the immense Marc-Michel Lebevillon on the double bass, is also essential. A high-flying trio that offers standards and compositions. Recorded in 2007, "Père et Fils" is a standard of French gypsy jazz, the sublimation of jazz guitar. Augustin BONDOUX Publisher of the complete Django Reinhardt discography of reference (40 CDs, 760 pages of booklets), Frémeaux & Associés is today one of the first independent producers of gypsy jazz. This music, as generous and accessible as it is scholarly and technical, demonstrates the cultural and musicological richness of the contribution of the gypsy genre to Western culture. Romane is one of its most eminent representatives and his compositions have become true standards. Frémeaux & Associés celebrates the guitarist's work by collecting his entire phonographic career in order to make it available to the public in a Complete Collection, of which Père et Fils is the twelfth volume.
