Franck Tortiller Quartet

Franck Tortiller Quartet                           

Franck Tortiller : vibraphon, marimba

Matthieu Michel : trumpet, bugle

Antoine Reininger : electric bass

Patrice Héral : drums, percussion, voice

High and Dry :
Purple Stain :

Matthieu Michel and Patrice Héral, long term fellows of the vibraphonist, and a newcomer in his universe, the bassist Antoine Reininger, are the members of this light and virtuoso combo. The orchestration is falsely classical and associates a trumpet and a vibraphone to a resolutely contemporary rhythm section. The esthetic goal here is to revive the main values of jazz.
This quartet will be created on Friday, the 3rd and Saturday, the 4th of April 2009 at the Sceaux What, Scène Nationale Les Gémeaux in Sceaux (France).
