“Talking about those you love is easy. I have often been asked to write a few lines for occasions which did not arouse great enthusiasm in me. Today, my task is very easy. When I heard François Moutin for the first time, I immediately knew that I was dealing with the double bass player we were missing in France. The rest of his career obviously justified my hopes. Louis arrived a little later for me, but very quickly, I understood that his innate musicality, his ease on his instrument, his joy in playing, suggested that the tandem that he would inevitably form with François would be everything. foreground. Suffice to say that when their own group is not already on stage somewhere, I invite them to join me. When we know that François willingly makes the trip from New York, we can imagine the happiness I have in finding him, in finding them again. Two exceptional musicians.”
