Dare Dare trio

Cyril Pappalo: piano, Rhodes, synthesiser / Damien Pichol: electric bass / Damien Porre: drums
Winner – Tremplin Jazz, Albert Camus Media Library

Long-time friends who had played together before deciding to go their separate ways, Cyril and the two Damiens met up again for a casual jam session. That was all it took for the Dare Dare Trio to be born. The compositions began to flourish, a bond formed, and the muscle memory from years past returned without a second thought.

The repertoire of this band from Grasse is steeped in influences ranging from Pat Metheny to Snarky Puppy, via the Flecktones.
