Trio Agulhon / Beuf / Imbert – Tribute to Sonny Rollins
It is difficult to evoke Sonny Rollins without thinking of the legendary trio format without piano, which the master of the tenor saxophone made one of his favorite playgrounds.

About
It is in this tradition that the trio of Sylvain Beuf, Diego Imbert, and Franck Agulhon, created in 1998, finds its place. Three albums, a complicity forged over the years, and then more than twenty years of different artistic paths...
An essential figure in French jazz, Sylvain Beuf has established himself through the richness of his playing, his lyricism, and the quality of his compositions. A winner of the Prix Django Reinhardt, a Django d'Or, and a Victoire de la Musique, he has shared the stage with Martial Solal, Michel Legrand, Richard Galliano, Ray Charles, and many others. Alongside him, Diego Imbert, one of the most sought-after double bassists of his generation, and Franck Agulhon, a drummer with subtle swing and remarkable listening skills, form a rhythm section of rare elegance.
With this concert, the three accomplices pay tribute to one of the greatest improvisers in jazz history. More than just a tribute, it is a celebration of the spirit of freedom, the taste for risk, and the dialogue that made Sonny Rollins a legend, carried by three musicians who know each other by heart.
