Granted, Didier Lockwood is neither the first nor the only important violonist playing modern jazz.

But his success goes far beyond the range of amateurs. Undoubtedly because his music can no longer be solely merged into the sphere of jazz.

After touring the entire world with different musicians more or less associated with the worlds of jazz, rock or variety, Didier Lockwood seems to have found true happiness with this new quartet in which he continues to exercise his energetic improvisational talents both as a composer of well-balanceced and lyrical themes and as a live musician with a lot of experience in the great professional art of stage.

Didier Lockwood enters upon a research of sound with the instrument which he possesses so totally, yet whose possibilities seem infinite when in his hands. Nor does he ever abandon human contact experiences; encounters with all sorts of musicians as divers as Jacques Higelin, Marc Ducret, or particularly Stèphane Grappelli to whom he will always be the most important of all his spiritual sons.
