About
The smallest big band celebrates 30 years of musical complicity with a sixth album, something rare enough to be underlined. This all-terrain trio - Clarinets, Sousaphone, drums - charms the public both in the intimacy of a club and on the big festival stages. Their music is described as libertarian, enjoyable and communicative.
Daring to claim eternal youth, to a libertarian, joyful and communicative music.
Daring to be a group rather than an individual, daring to play acoustically without special effects
What cheek!
What impertinence!
"(...) This trio solves the question of jazz today... Should we really label everything? Their jazz, the one they play, they love it, period! And you can feel it, you can even see it!
Far from identity conflicts, the only thing that matters here is the dance of tempos and the emotion shared through the language of sounds. In permanent balance between momentum and suspension, Trio Grande is the band of maturity, of happiness found through experience and time, a tribute to life and beauty, far from any silly intentions.
At times, a tremendous power constantly coexists with a supernatural delicacy. In compositions that one would almost like to call "successful", so much so that they take you extremely high from the very first seconds - this is often a sign - the companions inhabit their music with a lyrical fever admirably served by the entrechats sometimes of an inventive Michel Massot, sometimes of a powerfully architectural Michel Debrulle.
Then Laurent Dehors returns the favour, with a rigorous phrasing combined with a splendid colouring. The spectator is transported like from the palm of a hand and placed on the other side of the landscape, quite transfigured. You too will be transported and will not see time pass! (...)" Anonymous
