Fred Pasqua Trio ‘Ronces’

Following *Moon River*, in which he revisited jazz standards, drummer Fred Pasqua returns with *Ronces*, a more personal album born out of a turbulent period and composed entirely of his own original compositions.

Surrounded by double bassist Yoni Zelnik and Brazilian guitarist Nelson Veras, he forms a trio with a rare chemistry, where improvisation takes precedence over arrangement. An intimate, unpretentious world that invites us to venture off the beaten path.

“I like it when a symbol is associated with an album. In this case, it’s the brambles. My partner and I made our way through them. We’d lost our way… We talk about it often. A hostile world, which, beneath that prickly web, allows a new forest to emerge.”
