Henri Texier Hope Quartet is a jazz band fronted by French bassist Henri Texier. Like his double bass, Henri Texier is a pillar, a landmark within European jazz. After a dazzling career start at the end of the 60’s, alongside American bebop giants such as Bud Powell, Donald Byrd, Dexter Gordon or Kenny Clarke (he was not yet twenty !) and a highly inventive Unit series during the two following decades (with François Jeanneau, Daniel Humair, Michel Portal, Aldo Romano, Louis Sclavis, Bernard Lubat, Didier Lockwood, etc.), Henri Texier, during the 90’s lent his warm sound and his talent as a melodist to young unshakable improvisation musketeers. The Henri Texier Hope Quartet is: Henri Texier, double bass, Sebastien Texier, alto sax, clarinettes, Francois Corneloup, baritone sax, and Louis Moutin, drums. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Henri+Texier+Hope+Quartet">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
