With this new album, Patrice Caratini, Alain Jean-Marie and Roger Raspail perpetuate a musical conversation started around the centuries-old meeting of Africa and Europe in the Americas. Between mambo, swing and accents of Gwo Ka, the Tropical Jazz Trio gives voice to music defended by high-flying artists whose career has been part of the musical heritage for half a century now.

New album “On peut parler d’autre chose” (French Paradox)
From the islands of the Caribbean to the continents of the New World, the three musicians mix skins and metals of African-American languages with snapshots of jazz. The singularity of the instrumentation and the multiplicity of interactions of the trio then opens up all possibilities. The deceptive simplicity of the subject conceals sonic refinements which the public is invited to grasp throughout a repertoire evoking the Cubans Chucho Valdés and Mario Bauza, the Brazilian De La Freire, the Latin forays of Dizzy Gillespie, the elegance of a theme from Kenny Wheeler or the timeless spirit of Money Jungle from the trio Ellington, Mingus, Roach.
After a unanimously acclaimed first album, the Tropical Jazz Trio returns with "We can talk about something else". If the directory is new, the (good) straps do not change. Flexibility, complicity, nostalgic sweetness and Caribbean swings remain in place. Great art"
This syncretism between New York, Paris and Pointe-à-Pitre, which appeared as simple as a conversation between friends, gives all its charm to this second album. A spell." - Essential
Tropical Jazz Trio, solar fusion between jazz and the Caribbean, a little miracle of groove"
Tropical Jazz Trio, a sort of dictionary in love with Guadeloupean, Cuban and Latin American jazz, dream child of Patrice Caratini's Jazz Ensemble and Alain Jean-Marie's Biguine Reflections."
