BENJAMIN ASNAR TRIO

Bassist and composer, Benjamin Asnar draws the basis of his aesthetic from the many world cultures that surround him, mixing it quite naturally with his traditional jazz influences. He surrounds himself with Lucas Belkhiri, a classically trained pianist who understands jazz by bringing new ideas and textures as well as Francesco Marzetti, a drummer with a sulphurous groove gifted with a deep knowledge of Mediterranean music ranging from Gnawa music to flamenco, and jazz.

"(...) This trio infuses music anchored in the roots of jazz, surprisingly light and airy which, from Kaddish at the opening to Gaby which closes this beautiful album, grooves at all costs." - Yvan Duvivier, musical revelation from Ouest France
