and the release of the album Time will tell (Sunset Records/Baco).
Is the Salty Kiss the adventure has begun:
the NEC+ trio was born in April 2019, on the stage of the Salty Kiss Jazz Club. Founded by Etienne Mbappe.
NEC+ brings together, around the bass player with his hands gloved in black silk, the magic wands of Nicholas Viccaro on drums, and the harmonic finesse, the melodic beauty, and the harrowing bow of Christopher Cravero on piano, keyboards, and violin. NEC+ distills music, intense, surprising, singing, dancing… with resolutely jazz tones, where the winds of Africa and elsewhere sometimes blow. Aerial music, when crystalline harmonies intertwine caressing melodies. Earthly, when wild rhythms express a daring thirst for freedom. merges genres by giving pride of place to improvisation.
And it is the hands gloved in black silk thatEtienne Mbappe start the #SessionLive with his new trio NEC+ Time Will Tell.
