Moutin Reunion Quartet featuring Rick Margitza
Organised by Matt & Phred's Jazz Club
Artists include: Pierre de Beththman, Francois Moutin, Louis Moutin, Rick Margitza
Moutin Reunion is a power-packed acoustic band that sound like the great fusion groups of the 70’s – especially Weather Report, Chick Corea, Miles Davis – brought forward into 2006. It helps having the former Miles saxophonist, Rick Margitza, to the fore, and he’s as intelligent and forceful as Wayne Shorter.
Back in 1999 Louis and Francois Moutin decided to form THE MOUTIN REUNION QUARTET in order to perform their original compositions. They had a common desire: to create music expressing the energy of life; full of emotion and spontaneity - a music close to them, to what they intimately feel, inhabited by Jazz' spirit, swing and grooves, inviting listeners and musicians to celebrate beauty and imagination.
They are sharing this desire with their two outstandingly skilled partners: the amazingly talented pianist Pierre de Bethmann and the immensely gifted saxophonist Rick Margitza. Not only Rick is a former partner of Mr. Miles Davis, but also both he and Pierre can pride themselves on their profoundly creative and extremely successful respective solo careers.
