« J’ai foi en la mémoire. Je crois, comme Duke El-lington, qu’un musicien a besoin du souvenir pourjouer, pour créer. Peu importe le style, l’idiome qu’ilchoisit pour cela ; la mémoire que le musicien utilisepour actionner sa démarche artistique semble primor-diale pour la pertinence et la profondeur de son pro-pos. » Raphaël Imbert

A travers ces trois enregistrements réalisés pour Zig-Zag Territoires, Raphaël Imbert nous entraîne dans ununivers éblouissant et foisonnant, où mémoire etcréation sont intimement liées.

‘I have faith in memory. I believe, like Duke Ellington,that a musician needs memory to be able to play, tocreate. It doesn’t matter which style, which idiom hechooses in order to do so; the memory that the musi-cian uses to spark off his artistic process is primordialfor the relevance and the profundity of what he has tosay’ (Raphaël Imbert).

In these three recordings for Zig-Zag Territoires, Ra-phaël Imbert leads us into a rich and dazzling uni-verse where memory and creation are closelyinterconnected.
