Duo Cabaret/Rocher - EN

CABARET-ROCHER TRIO
FREE TRAD JAZZ
CABARET-ROCHER TRIO is a group born from the collaboration between Etienne Cabaret and Christophe Rocher, two leading multi-instrumentalists in Brittany who have known each other for many years. In 2018, they had the idea (and the desire) to create a hybrid repertoire, fusing traditional Breton music with modern, free-form jazz, tinged with imaginary sonic textures that only improvisation can reveal.
After numerous concerts on tour as a duo (in France, China, India…) and two recorded albums, the musicians were joined by the prodigious Breton drummer Nicolas Pointard (Kami Octet, Moger, Ensemble Nautilis) to form a trio whose free and hybrid music navigates between dance tunes and melancholic ballads, between Breton, Balkan, and free jazz sounds.

Nicolas POINTARD
He began playing the instrument at the age of 9 and turned to jazz and improvised music at the end of the last century, studying with Césarius Alvim, Steve Mc Craven Guillaume Orti, Benoît Delbecq, Carlos Zingaro, Fabrizio Cassol… With the groups Oko, Shampoing, Art ensemble of Brest or Rah-slup, he developed a drumming style blending timbral exploration and polyrhythmic combinations; an approach he also applies to other genres (pop, rock, Breton music, electronic…) with the groups Moger, Faro, Naab or Faustine, or to other disciplines (theater, dance, silent film) with the show Dékoeff, the Hiatus company, and the For trink quartet…
A highly sought-after musician in Brittany, he also participates in other interregional and international ensembles (Moger Orchestra, Kami octet, Ensemble Nautilis…).
