LE CHAT BREL
Released on November 13, 2020 (Inouïe Distribution)
The melodies on this album, composed in turn by Gabriel Bismut and by Maurizio Minardi, are inspired by great French and Italian film music. The title "Le Chat Brel" is a reference to new wave cinema, the dramatic intensity of Jacques Brel, and the lightness of jazz and French song.
​
In search of traces of their origins in world music, Gabriel Bismut and Maurizio Minardi have delved into popular music from France and Italy, into Argentine tango, Latin waltzes and Baroque rhapsodies, and made a blend of their own.
Of course, jazz and gypsy music are always present: in turn, the members of the quartet leave their mark on this music with their solos.
