On March 31st the live album "A Modern Songbook" by Thomas Enhco and Stéphane Kerecki was released by Sony Music a summit meeting of two virtuosos.

The album "A Modern Songbook" by Thomas Enhco and Stephane Kerecki is the story of a friendship and successful collaboration between two French jazz virtuosos. What connects the pianist and double bass player is the search for a balance between virtuosity and emotionality, reduction and depth. "We wanted to explore the space between the notes and play with the silence," explains Thomas Enhco. The basis for this musical exploration are pieces from pop, classical, jazz, gospel and folk and music by Aretha Franklin, Nick Drake, Sting, London Grammar, Fauré or Schumann.

Thomas Enhco (1988) continues the work of the artist and musician dynasty Casadesus in the fifth generation. He started playing the violin at the age of three. The piano was added when I was six. From a very young age he was on stage with famous jazz musicians. In France, he is one of the few artists to be celebrated equally by the classical and jazz worlds - he has played and written with/for the Capuçon brothers, Anne-Sofie Von Otter, Khatia Buniatishvili, Lise de la Salle, among others or the Orchester National de France as well as with the jazz musicians Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jack DeJohnette or Mike Stern.

Stéphane Kerecki (1970) is known for his various collaborations, which have received multiple awards. While studying economics, he began playing the double bass, but then decided to devote himself entirely to this instrument and entered the Paris Conservatory. His first engagements took him to Steve Potts' quartet and to the first bassist of the Paris Jazz Big Band. For about twenty years, Stéphane Kerecki has performed in the bands of Denis Colin, Guillaume de Chassy, Yaron Herman, Daniel Humair, François Jeanneau, Sheila Jordan and Steve Lehman, among others. In 2015 he was a prizewinner at Talents Jazz ADAMI and his album Nouvelle Vague received the "Victoire du jazz du Meilleur Disque de l'Année 2015".https://www-jazz--fun-de.translate.goog/thomas-enhco-stephane-kerecki-a-modern-songbook.html
