Colors at Bal Blomet

Pierre Bertrand (Victoires du Jazz 2017) is proposing a new creation project “COLORS” in 2021 which explores the relationship between color and music, in collaboration with the painter Jean-Antoine Hierro. For him, the subject of colors is vast and fascinating: they are stimuli to the imagination, they represent codes, which differ according to people and cultures.

Pierre Bertrand (Victoires du Jazz 2017) propose un nouveau projet de création « COLORS » en 2021 qui explore les relations entre couleur et musique, en collaboration avec le peintre Jean-Antoine Hierro. Pour lui, le sujet des couleurs est vaste et passionnant : elles sont des stimuli à l’imagination, elles représentent des codes, différents selon les hommes et les cultures.Une collaboration artistique avec le trompettiste suédois de renommée internationale Anders Bergcrantz a suscité chez Pierre Bertrand l’idée d’explorer “le son du quintet” autour de ce concept « musique et couleurs ».Pour former le groupe avec Anders Bergcrantz, il a choisi de solliciter l’énergie du piano de Pierre-Alain Goualch qu’il a côtoyé artistiquement à l’occasion du projet ULTIMO d’André Ceccarelli, la virtuosité de la contrebasse de Christophe Wallemme qui joue très régulièrement dans le groupe LA CAJA NEGRA et la sauvagerie de la batterie de Laurent Robin, batteur de la période “PARIS 24H” du Paris Jazz Big Band.
