JohnTone Trio

Missed them at the last Nuances Pop? Well, the jazzmen of the JohnTone Trio will be performing a concert to mark the end of their residency at the parallel space on Saturday, April 18, from 8:30 to 9:30 pm.

Johnny Mariéthoz (double bass), Marcel Sarrasin, a.k.a. Totone (tenor saxophone) and Patrick Fellay (drums) use their live compositions to illustrate images from a little-known masterpiece: "The World, the Flesh and the Devil", an American science-fiction film directed in 1959 by Ranald MacDougall. The film deals poetically with a subject that is still terribly topical: human stupidity.

JohnTone Trio is black-and-white jazz filmed by a GoPro, as if Michel Audiard had a Facebook account. JohnTone Trio is contemporary without denying its roots and influences. Indeed, what strikes you first about these Valaisans is their ability to create pieces that already seem to be standards. The influences are manifold, from all eras and all continents. Sometimes swing, sometimes blues, rumba or bossa, even funk and why not pop! These three have digested thousands of hours of listening and seem intent on sharing them with us. They're like three music lovers who'd like to share their record collection, but lack a turntable, so all they've got to pass on is their instruments.

JohnTone Trio takes up the idea of a ciné concert, based on a talking film to which the original soundtrack has been removed. The accompaniment is not limited to saxophone, bass and drums, but takes on the adventure of absolute freedom in instrumentation, always with the ethic of their own original compositions.
