Nec +

Founded by Etienne Mbappé (bassist to John McLaughlin, Joe Zawinul, Salif Keita...), NEC+ was born in April 2019, on the stage of the Baiser salé Jazz Club and brings together, around the bassist with his black silk-gloved hands, the magic sticks of Nicolas Viccaro on drums, and the harmonic finesse, melodic beauty, and heart-rending bow of Christophe Cravero, on piano, keyboards, and violin.  
NEC+ distills an intense, surprising, singing, dancing music... with resolutely jazz tones, where the winds of Africa and elsewhere sometimes blow. Airy music, where crystalline harmonies embrace caressing melodies; earthy, where wild rhythms express an audacious thirst for freedom. The trio fuses genres, giving pride of place to improvisation.
