CHRISTIAN VANDER TRIO - JOUR APRES JOUR / 65!

By 2009  Christian Vander  was the godfather of the Nice Jazz Festival. For this occasion he brought together a new quartet to play, again and for ever, the music of John Coltrane – his daily bread. 

Since then, parallel with his performances with Magma, he has continued performing with this line-up, which includes Jean-Michel Couchet, Bruno Ruder et Emmanuel Grimonprez. While you wait for a new recording we can offer you a remastered re-release, in double digipack format, of the 2 albums recorded by the Christian Vander trio in 1990 and 1993. You can also find, on the CD "Jour après Jour", 3 unreleased tracks, recorded at the time of very first session in april 1988.

JOUR APRES JOUR

Loyalty to truth and sincerity demand that this trio refuses all ready-made musical formulas. Tension, release, the music breathes, throws itself into emotional storms, relents into tranquillity. Body and soul this music is a song offered by three artists, without contrivances, a song without words for a love story.

65 !

In 1989, leading the same Trio, Christian VANDER delighted us with a first opus, the inspirational JOUR APRES JOUR. With 65! he created the same type of luminous, inspirational atmosphere which surrounded the work of Coltrane at his zenith. Compact and dense yet at the same time considered and serene, this powerful collection of nine pieces is not only a masterpiece but also a compelling insight in the development of VANDER's mastery of his art.
