Jean-Luc Thievent (en duo avec Michel Haumont) - Résonance

In Germany, he may only be known to the dyed-in-the-wool cognoscente of the scene. So it's really great that Jean-Luc Thievent, a Frenchman living in Canada, is now introducing himself to a broader audience. Proof of the recognition that Thievent enjoys in the Francophone guitar scene is the fact that he recorded this album together with Michel Haumont.

Each cut is proof of how well these two men harmonize musically. So all sixteen tracks sound like a relaxed meeting over an espresso, maybe with a snifter or two of Cognac. Calm ballads and waltzes alternate with sassy ragtimes in Marcel Dadi style, or fast pieces performed percussively. Guitar music for the soul.
