Out of the shadows of the night the PHOENIX rises from the ashes of the past to stretch his wings and glide across vast lands no soul has ever seen or known.
Au fil de ses rencontres,
Geoffrey Secco a su créer un univers métissé, entre jazz, soul,
hip hop, rock et électro.
"Jam with the electro", son premier album, témoigne de ses
diverses influences, croisement entre les genres et les styles,
offrant au public une palette de sonorités nouvelles et innovantes.
Accompagné de Armel Dupas (piano), Ronan Courty
(contrebasse), Gaëtan Allard (batterie) et Lorenz Rainer
(trompette), il nous propose un univers de métissage et
d’improvisation.
Ça y est, le nouvel album est enfin dans les bacs (voilà bien une expression que l'on risque de ne plus utiliser encore très longtemps!!) depuis le 26/10...
...et je dois dire que je n'en suis pas peu fier !!
