Jazz double bassist Thomas Bramerie released his first solo album in his thirty-year career. We discover Side Stories on May 25 on Jazz Eleven.
Thirty years that he plays behind the big names of jazz, Thomas Bramerie finally takes the time to release his compositions on a brilliant album of music: Side Stories in jazz and soul jazz.
Thomas Bramerie is both a solid double bass player and a strong personality who loves risk, sharing and the unexpected. Able to deliver beautiful bass lines, he knows how to listen and adapt to the playing of other musicians. Of constant efficiency, it has a good sense of recovery and its finishes are always of quality: a real work of goldsmith. After 30 years of career as a sideman in France and abroad, Thomas Bramerie, one of the most sought-after bassists on the jazz scene, decided to speak out as a leader. Surrounded by two of the most remarkable young musicians of the new generation of French jazz, Carl-Henri Morisset and Elie Martin-Charrière, he accompanies each of the compositions of his first personal album "Side stories" with a text presenting his vision of jazz and society in general.
