Info zu Contrastes

„Contrastes“ mit dem 5-String Banjo Steve Louvats, der Mandoline seines Bruders Jefferson, unterstützt vom Bass Michel Vrydags und bei einigen Stücken bereichert durch die Fiddle von Byron Berline und die Flat-Picking-Gitarre von Thierry Massoubre ist ein Album, das mit mitreißendem High-Speed-Bluegrass daherkommt und dennoch nicht nur Puristen begeistern wird. Denn die mit 15 Instrumentals ausgestattete CD bietet neben Musik im „klassischen“ Bluegrass-Style eine gelungene musikalische Melange aus Irish Music, Klezmer, Blues und sogar interessante und passende Anleihen aus der Barockmusik. Und so verschmelzen die Instrumentals auf diesem Album zu einer musikalischen Einheit – trotz aller Kontraste.

Steve and Jefferson Louvat
are both left-handed and hail from the Liège area, Belgium. As kids, they discover a real passion for the 5string banjo, the guitar and the mandolin. They performed numerous concerts across Belgium as well as Europe (France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Irland, England, Tchèque Republic, Hungary…) but they also played several times over the United States at renowned festivals and music conventions. Today they are known as the Belgian ambassadors for the Bluegrass music which comes straight from the State of Kentucky.

Michel Vrydag
is a virtuoso bass player with a wide range of musical influences. Having a solid Jazz background, he is also a fine composer.

Needless to say the combination created in between those two different musical worlds gave birth to a fresh and sparkling kind of music.This trio presents a personal and contemporary approach of the Bluegrass and its associated instruments, including traditional materials but also originals.
