Adrien Tarraga Quartet • Gypsy Jazz
Adrien Tarraga (g) ; Alexandre Tripodi (vl) ; Ben van Bortel (b) ; Sam op de Beeck (g)
Adrien Taraga is part of a new generation of guitarists who bring the legacy of gypsy jazz to life with flair, elegance and a strong personal voice. Driven by an immediate sense of swing, great melodic freedom and a virtuosity always in service of the music, he belongs to that dazzling tradition in which the guitar becomes at once a rhythmic engine, a singing voice and a firework display.
With a deeply inhabited, generous and intensely alive style of playing, Adrien Taraga takes us into a world where virtuosity is never mere showmanship, but always carried by momentum, lyricism and the joy of sharing. Somewhere between a tribute to the great tradition of the genre and a resolutely contemporary energy, this concert promises an evening of blazing strings, incandescent swing and infectious joy.
An unmissable date for lovers of gypsy jazz, and for anyone who loves jazz played with panache, intensity and heart.
