Chansons! is a musical conception similar to a diplomatic treaty or melodious embrace between cousins. Essentially, it's an innovative exchange between two neighboring worlds that have always eyed and inspired one other with reciprocal curiosity. Italy and France unite as allies on the musical front, gathering on the field four extraordinary talents: Fabio Zeppetella, Roberto Gatto, Géraldine Laurent, and Emmanuel Bex. This original quartet uniquely interprets eleven songs that best reflect the musical tradition of singer-songwriters belonging to these two countries. Starting from the highly popular jazz composer Bruno Martino, passing through the ever-present Fabrizio De André and Francesco De Gregori and arriving to Pino Daniele, another milestone; on the French scene are idols such as Jacques Brel, Leo Ferré, Yves Montand, and Joe Dassin. The quartet's interpretation is extraordinary and the songs on Chansons! enchant from beginning to end. While the harmonious complicity of Gatto, Bex, and Zeppetella is a well-known fact, the musical fluency added by the involvement of Laurent is unexpected, further enriching this innovative project. Also features compositions by: Vincenzo De Crescenzo-Antonio Vian, Henri Betti-André Hornez, and Jean-Baptiste Clément-Antoine Renard. Personnel: Fabio Zeppetella - guitar; Emmanuel Bex - organ, voice; Géraldine Laurent - alto sax; Roberto Gatto - drums.

In 2001, the first album of BFG ( Bex, Ferris & Goubert ) : " Here & Now" was the first production Naïve Jazz and a great success since the album rather unusual trio (organ , trombone , drums) was awarded of the highest honors : " Victoire de la Musique ", " Grand Prix de L' Académie Charles Cros ", " Choc Jazzman of the Year ", " FFFF Télérama " Select "World" ... the trio was born the same year , a one-night stand at Sunset during a carte blanche Emmanuel Bex who chose to surround himself with Glenn Ferris trombone and Simon Goubert on drums. A furious and mind-blowing concert remained in the memories of hundreds of spectators at a club trance.

Twelve years later , the trio is reuniting for a concert by the New Morning in Paris in January 2013. Alchemy intact and it imposed both as a necessity and as an emergency : we had record "live" this legendary group. This was done in a completely new directory at Sunset , even where they were " born " . After " Here & Now" , here " Now or Never" . Provided they do not expect another twelve years! ~google translation from french.
