Fascinated by the great trios of the jazz history and the challenge that represents playing with this instrumentation, Quentin Cholet creates his own Trio in 2016 with two Berlin-based musicians, Igor Osypov (guitar) and Hugo Reydet (doublebass). Convinced by the importance of the social links within a band, Quentin looks for creating a solid relationship on which building its own musical language.
The trio began interpreting standards and quickly moved on to playing the musician’s compositions. Doing this, the trio develops its panel of timbres, nuances and features. Now the trio is focusing their work on mutual listening in order to reach a better musical interaction and a more precise style.
The Quentin Cholet Trio has performed for now essentially in clubs in Berlin. They digitally released their first recording available online. Their next ambition is to record a whole set of composition.
