Roses § Roots
A poetic album, full of memories
of guitar playing, country songs, jazz, contemporary music, - with no a priori.
Melodies inspired by different beings, places, and music, emotions, shared pleasures from Rome (its temples and its times) to Paris (its tower and its turnings) via Venice and its pictures. Writing and improvisation, words said and unsaid, written and unwritten
« Roses of all colours, for their beauty and their mystery. Roots for their resistance and their ramifications. A journey by road and by dreams. Memories of first times. The pleasure of the first notes. Those chords that vibrate. A group of friends. The pleasure of playing and playing with pleasure. Simple.
Gymnastics of « a priori »; ours and others'. Towns, train stations, earth and sky.
My country has changed indeed.
