{"product_id":"henri-texier_chance-vinyl_2020_lad","title":"CHANCE (vinyl)","description":"EUROPEAN JAZZ GIANT, Henri Texier, double bassist and multi-instrumentalist, has been blazing his trail, album after album, since 1967. A casual observer might think that this impressive body of discographical productions tells the story of a career, but it primarily outlines a powerful and admirable body of work. The work of a musician who has always been at the forefront of evolving music, the work of an anxious and sensitive artist, attuned to the world. As the years pass, Henri Texier's importance and originality become increasingly evident to all musicians, whether they are long-time companions or not. A marvelous blend of a great double bass tradition and a modernism that has never been afraid to take risks. Time seems to have no hold on his playing: round, powerful, and above all, driven by an extraordinary awareness of rhythm. A top-notch cast and a sequence of scenes and landscapes that give the listener the certainty of an overarching narrative. Once again, Admiral Texier is at the helm, like a great and gentle helmsman, with his enthusiasm intact, a man who sees a little further than others, and who can therefore guide them. \"A TRUE MASTERPIECE OF MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE AND SENSITIVITY.\" --- JAZZ MAGAZINE ---. \"ONCE AGAIN, TEXIER ASTOUNDS US BY DELIVERING EXCELLENT MUSIC THAT SOARS TO HEIGHTS THAT WILL ENCHANT EVEN THE MOST DISCERNING.\" --- LE MONDE ---. \"ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL STORIES OF JAZZ IN FRANCE\" --- TÉLÉRAMA ---. \"Henri TEXIER has always managed the tour de force of associating the newest research with the most popular expressions. This is because Henri TEXIER does not follow the trends and currents of his time: HE IS ONE OF THOSE WHO CREATE THE CURRENTS.\" --- LE MONDE ---. HONORARY VICTOIRE AT THE VICTOIRES DU JAZZ 2020 AWARDED ON 06\/10\/2020. \"LUCK! For me to always be here and now. Lucky to have played with so many wonderful musicians, to have shared with so many inspired and fertile artists who trusted me and who taught me so much. Lucky to have had enough energy to feel the freedom, the exhilaration, the weightlessness, the plenitude that Jazz Music provides. Lucky to have been and to still be followed by a warm and loyal audience. Lucky to have been able to carry out my artistic projects in complete freedom, and in particular my albums faithfully captured by Philippe Teissier Du Cros, most often illustrated by Guy Le Querrec and visualized by Christophe Rémy. Lucky to have been able to bring together Sébastien Texier, Vincent Lê Quang, Manu Codjia, and Gautier Garrigue, such brilliant and inspired musicians thanks to whom I can continue to discover and explore territories at the frontiers of this music so rich in emotions. The luck, after all these years, of having few regrets...\" --- Henri TEXIER ---.","brand":"Henri Texier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310281998680,"sku":null,"price":20201016.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3521381562286_1fd6afc0-5a5e-41c7-83cd-71b782470fce.jpg?v=1760318004","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/henri-texier_chance-vinyl_2020_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
