Quartet Base is a long-lasting formation. For 18 years now, Sebastien Beaumont has been writing a music that relies on the trust set in between the musicians. Based on the inmost, this new repertoire releases a deep, tensed, but sometimes funny and mischievous proposition. Texts, melodies, climates and sound memories are so many materials to a narrative and expressionist music.

The first CD “Allo?”, released in 2009, sounded like a call. In this new release, singing responds to it with a pop note, tinting an elaborated and thick jazz. The trumpet of Christian Pruvost expands the sound and melodic spectrum of the band, giving to the whole a subtle blend of sonic experimentation, melodic groove and wild improvisation.
