music
Tenor saxophonist Éric Barret, a highly regarded figure in French jazz, passed away last March following a fall while hiking. Twice a member of the Orchestre national de jazz, he left his mark on the scene alongside Henri Texier, Aldo Romano and pianist Alain Jean-Marie, with whom he formed one of his most remarkable duos.
Founder of numerous groups, Barret had collaborated with internationally renowned artists such as Roy Haynes, Freddie Hubbard, Lou Bennett, Enrico Pieranunzi, Steve Swallow, and Pierre Michelot. As a respected teacher, he also contributed to the emergence of musicians like Airelle Besson and Benjamin Moussay.
His last album, Work In Progress, was released last year. Tonight, several musicians – including some of his former students – are paying tribute to him by revisiting part of his work, especially compositions and arrangements from the album My Favorite Song.
