SAMUEL BONNET TRIO

About

Samuel Bonnet takes a chamber music approach to the jazz trio, combining classical technique on a custom-made, hybrid guitar with the adventurousness of jazz improvisation and inspiration from Spanish, Brazilian and Jewish music. Critics love his playing for its combination of "raw authenticity" and "meticulous technique," and presenters appreciate his exquisite stylistic crossovers between East and West, between classical and jazz, and the intimacy of his rapport with audiences. “…truly magnificently delicate and harmonically rich.” — Dahlia Bellaiche, Jazz Club Étoile , Paris “The guitar is raw and true, with no frills or verbiage whatsoever.” Bertrand Mourri, Jazz Infos France "A luminous, meticulous technique, sincere inspiration and trio playing that unfolds according to the discipline's best standards of quality and eloquence." Frédéric Cardin, Pan M 360
