Henri Texier Hope Quartet (F)

Henri Texier: bass
Sebastien Texier: alto saxophone, clarinet
Francois Corneloup: baritone saxophone
Louis Moutin: drums

A Revelation!
There are groups that one constructs painstakingly, one element at a time, and then there are those that just spring up on you, like an epiphany. This is truly the first time that a group simply crept up from behind and surprised me!
Unexpectedly gathered together during a residency offered to Sébastien Texier by L’Improviste, a welcoming club located on a Paris barge, this Quartet spontaneously found itself “in orbit” at equal distances around a common sphere.
Even though I had known him for many years, I had never played with Louis Moutin. But Sébastien, François, Louis and I struck an instantaneous balance with each other… a novel sort of dance. It was a unique feeling of complementarity on an amazing level, where our ideas met and intermingled effortlessly…like telepathy. (Henri Texier)
Was Charlie Haden in den USA, ist (für mich) Henri Texier in Europa (gemeinsam mit NHOP und, Sie werden staunen, Ewald Oberleitner aus Graz). Ein Klangästhet, ein Kultivierer des Bass-Sounds, jemand mit einem perfekten tiefen Ton und musikalisch stilsicher. Selten zu hören (sowohl Henri als auch dieser Ton), deshalb: Ne manquez pas! CH
Eintritt: 28.- € Sitzplatz, 20.- € Stehplatz
