« Chez Dupont, tout est bon » (S. Loupien, Libération )
Leading Dupont T , he releases in 2007 "Spider's Dance" (****Jazzman) , inviting Rudresh Mahanthappa for recording and performances in France and in the US.
In search of a modern folklore, the poetic alchemy in his music shows his fascination for new forms - improvisation has to be a game with new rules – as well as unexpected elements of rooted traditions, with an expressive and steady tone.
...from formal constraints to total improvisation; from pure acoustic, to electric bass or pure electronic…
« Révélation 2005 » in Guitarist-Bass for his solo album « Ultraboles », he plays the double-bass in KARTET (since 1990 with Benoît Delbecq, Guillaume Orti, Chander Sardjoe), and electric bass in THÔT, Stéphane Payen’s band with Gilles Coronado and Christophe Lavergne.
He co-leads SAWADU, with Cameroon master drummer Brice Wassy and guitarist Hervé Samb, from Senegal.
He performed and recorded with such jazzmen as Robin Eubanks, Harold Land, Steve Lacy, Glenn Ferris, or Jozef Dumoulin, slammer Felix J, Laurent De Wilde, Magic Malik, Hasse Poulsen, Stefano Di Battista, Fabrizio Cassol, Mathias Ruegg, Paolo Fresu, Noël Akchoté, Matthieu Donarier, Manu Codjia, Carlo Rizzo, Steve Argüelles, Pepa Päivinen, Stephane Galland, Mathieu Michel, Wolfgang Puschnig, the Vancouver Improvisers’ Collective... as well as the parisian underground scene.
Out of jazz, he also performed with Fodé Diop Sabar Group (Sabar Ring), with Kamilya Jubran, Nabil Khalidi, Toufic Farroukh, Elie Maalouf, Youssef Hbeisch, Joshua Levitt, Saeid Shanbehzadeh…
He studied with bass master Jean-François Jenny-Clark, and occasionnally with Dave Holland, Paul Motian Trio, Miroslav Vitous, Don Cherry, Steve Swallow...

Ca fait chaud au coeur, au ventre et aux pieds, c'est presque comme une amourette en tongs sur la plage ensoleillée, sauf que c'est à la rentrée, que ça groove plus et que c'est à la sortie du métro Croix de Chavaux ;-)

Quand un quatuor classique s'enflamme sur un rythme à 5 temps, porté par un quartet de jazz et des tambours de l'Afrique et des Antilles, notre sale histoire commune liée par les chaînes de l'esclavage s'écrase devant l'évidence que l'humanité respire et gronde dans l'altérité.
