G-BONE ROOTS TRIO

G-Bone Roots, an atypical trio that indulges in great harmonic freedom

G-Bone Roots, the trio of Paris-based Swiss trombonist Gilles Repond offers a repertoire that combines original compositions and New Orleans Jazz standards, bringing out all their expressive and sonic richness. However, the formation is rather atypical for this style of Jazz: lacking harmonic instruments in the rhythm section, the group allows itself great harmonic freedom in improvisation, an approach more typical of modern Jazz. The musicians explore the timbres of their instruments (sourdine, percussion…) to the fullest, experimenting outside the box and constantly reinventing their role within the trio.
