Pierre De Bethmann Trio

Pierre de Bethmann continues with a new trio formula, with guitarist extraordinaire Nelson Veras joining his voice to that of Sylvain Romano's piano and double bass.

With a sound that's both more intimate and marked by strong personalities, this new trio continues to explore all the riches of a repertoire of standards from multiple musical traditions, sometimes transformed according to the harmonic and rhythmic inspiration of the musicians, sometimes chosen on the fly, always worked on in depth over the course of concerts.

And to build a sound with two exceptional partners, whose careers speak for themselves, and who never tire of cultivating the science of music as an art of living.

All this to try, again and again, to try to find a little meaning outside any dogmatism, to taste the necessary joy of sharing, and thus to allow ourselves the greatest of luxuries: that of taking the time.
