The Fabien Degryse Trio is a classic jazz outfit that knows their jazz. They keep their temperatures warm and their structures feeling free while looking stylish. Their harmonies are challenging, but seem effortless in the trio’s hands. All of the tracks on The Heart of the Acoustic Guitar are written by Degryse and show the three decades that he has been playing the guitar on a professional scale. He is certainly not a novice, nor does his music intimidate novice musicians, which makes this album quite attractive and one that musicians and fans will talk about for years to come. - Susan Frances, jazzreview.com
Fusion
This CD is the second step in the realization of a dream the leader had a few years ago. Mastering jazz for two decades, and deeply in love with the sound of the acoustic steel-string guitar, he decided that the technology of amplifying acoustic guitar was finally mature enough to give a try to a trio with this guitar sound together with upright bass and drums.
