Tony Bonfils, Lete Christian & Philippe Walter - Objet Céleste (2025) [Hi-Res]

The meaning of melody... Everything comes from Bach who improvised fugues for 3 voices... This is the spirit of this trio, interweaving melodies, two, three or four for the piano, one for the bass... The challenge is not simple because it is about improvising and there are two people... No three because a rhythm player joins the adventure... Christian LETE is a magician who embroiders counterpoints with elegance and finesse. Subtlety, musical intelligence are his credo. Melody, Tony BONFILS is just that, because he is above all a formidable singer and the double bass is the extension of his vocal instrument. Phil WALTER prefers a horizontal conception of melodies that unfold... The result of this approach could be cold and technical, but our adventurers kept in mind Mozart's phrase "Music is putting together notes that love each other". And indeed the alchemy works!
