  • Bio

    .. .. .. ..WW Quartet joue un jazz moderne, intense et parcouru par une énergie rythmique constante. Leur musique est le fruit de l'osmose entre 4 improvisateurs décidés à tirer le meilleur d'eux même et à explorer inlassablement le répertoire qu'ils proposent au public. Les compositions du groupe s'inscrivent dans la mouvance du jazz européen actuel, rappelant tour à tour des musiciens comme Bojan Z, Julien Lourau, Henri Texier, ou encore E.S.T. Les quatre musiciens transfigurent cet univers musical par une volonté revendiquée de pratiquer un « jazz total » : une musique arrangée et jouée par 4 musiciens à parts égales. Dans cette démarche ils revendiquent l'influence des grands combos du jazz que sont le quartet de John Coltrane et le Quintet de Miles Davis (1965-69), le but étant, par l'improvisation collective et individuelle, d'exploiter toutes les possibilités offertes par les compositions et d'amener la musique à un paroxysme. Depuis 2000, année de leur rencontre au C.N.R. de Lille, les quatre membres de WW Quartet on construit et muri leur musique au fil de leurs rencontres avec leurs ainés (Master Classes avec Sylvain Boeuf, Baptiste Trottignon, Nathalie Lauriers, David Pouradier-Duteuil, Steve Swallow) et avec le public (Tourcoing Jazz Festival 2002, Europa Jazz Festival du Mans 2004, Jazz-Club de Dunkerque 2003 et 2006, Jazz à Vienne 2011). Fruit de ce parcours, leur premier album, La Danse des Whunxes, est sorti en 2008. WW Quartet a remporté le prix spécial du jury au tremplin Jazz à St Germain 2010, le prix du jury et le prix du public au festival Golden Jazz Trophy d'Arras en 2011 ; le groupe a été finaliste au tremplin Rezzo – Jazz à Vienne 2011. .. .. ....The quartet's approach to music is above all a long term experience. Since their first encounter in 2000, the pleasure and joy to play together was obvious. It was therefore fundamental for them to work on this raw material and share it with the audience. That's why they decided to root the unity of their music in their diverse influences, hopes and personalities. Two constant features have been standing out throughout the years : the rhythmic energy of John Coltrane's jazz as well as rock music on one hand and the versatile atmospheres of some 20th century European composers and jazzmen (Debussy, Scriabine, Julien Lourau, Bojan Z.). Coming together step by step, the WW Quartet's music really blossoms on stage (Festival Jazz, Tourcoing 2002, Europa Jazz Festival, Le Mans 2004, Jazz-Club, Dunkerque 2003 and 2006, etc.). But the apotheosis of this approach is their first album "La danse des Whunxes" (the Whunxes' dance, 2008), which reflects both the spontaneousness of improvisation and interplay and the depth of composition..... .... ...... ...... ...... ...... ..

  • Sounds Like

    ..Ce que nous aimons avant tout c'est l'energie, la sueur, l'investissement. ... le rock'n roll en quelque sorte ! C'est donc une musique plutôt intense et dense / danse aussi parcequ'on veut absolument garder le rapport au groove et au rythme. Tout cela en essayant de varier les couleurs harmoniques les formes et les ambiances. En résumé, y'en pour la tete et pour le corps... Le plus simple pour se faire une idée est bien sur d'écouter .....

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE  ...

    "You will find as you look back upon your LIFE

    that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED

    are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS

    in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."

    ~ Henry Drummond

    THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.

    WHAT IS SACRED?  OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?

    WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH

    DYING FOR?  THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.

    ONLY LOVE.

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    "SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, PEACE OF MIND and

    exception, who MAKE THINGS HAPPEN – who

    make ‘GOOD’ things happen – in the world around them."

    ~ Joe Klock

    Sending LOTS OF LOVE your way Ww!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE MOTOWN SOUND ...

    In 1959, Berry Gordy gathered the best musicians from Detroit's thriving jazz and blues scene to begin cutting songs for his new record company. Starting with an $800 loan, Gordy turned MOTOWN RECORDS and Detroit, Michigan into "HITSVILLE U.S.A."

    Between 1959 and 1972,  this unheralded group of musicians had played on MORE # 1 HITS than the

    > BEACH BOYS,
    > the ROLLING STONES,
    > ELVIS
    > and the BEATLES ... COMBINED ~

    which makes them the GREATEST HIT MACHINE in the history of popular music.

    These great musicians called themselves simply
    the FUNK BROTHERS.

    I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN
    AND OWE MUCH TO THEIR RICH MUSICAL LEGACY.

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard
