About
Ten years after the release of the CD "Very Blue", double bassist and composer Jean Bardy returns with his brand new album "Au Café des Anges".
Jean Bardy weaves a universe where jazz naturally dialogues with his first loves, rock and folk, all crossed by some beautiful bluesy colors. On the program: energy, swing, but also a lot of finesse. You can hear superb double bass intros, warm sounds that envelop you, a touch of melancholy that passes through at times... and above all, that simple and contagious pleasure of playing together, which is heard in every note.
