Trio Agulhon / Beuf / Imbert

It is hard to evoke Sonny Rollins without thinking of the legendary piano-less trio format, one of the tenor saxophone master's favourite playgrounds. The trio of Sylvain Beuf, Diego Imbert and Franck Agulhon, formed in 1998, belongs to this lineage. Three albums, a bond forged over the years, then more than twenty years of different artistic paths...A leading figure of French jazz, Sylvain Beuf has made his mark through the richness of his playing, his lyricism and the quality of his compositions. A Prix Django Reinhardt laureate, winner of a Django d'Or and a Victoire de la Musique, he has shared the stage with Martial Solal, Michel Legrand, Richard Galliano, Ray Charles and many others. Alongside him, Diego Imbert, one of the most in-demand double bassists of his generation, and Franck Agulhon, a drummer with a subtle swing and remarkable listening skills, form a rhythm section of rare elegance.

With this concert, the three companions pay tribute to one of the greatest improvisers in the history of jazz. More than a simple tribute, it is a celebration of the spirit of freedom, the taste for risk and the dialogue that made Sonny Rollins a legend, carried by three musicians who know each other inside out.
