Henri Texier

Biografi fra www.maitemusic.com
Each new step proves it : Henri TEXIER always succeeded in the impossible; the impossible melting of jazz (as roots) and of the specific features of music in Europe. Without doubt, he owes that to the fact that he started to play double bass at the beginning of his career with prestigious partners: Dexter GORDON, Lee KONITZ, Don CHERRY... He owes it also (and mostly) to his gift to invent the "unheard of" while he allows the alchemy of the meetings: recognizable among thousands of composers, he has his own style...

"Henri TEXIER always succeeded in gathering the newest sounds to the most popular ones. Henri TEXIER does not follow fashions of his time : he belongs to the people who create them." Francis Marmande - Le Monde
