Accompanied by the cream of French jazz (Eric Legnini, Stéphane Belmondo …), guitarist and singer Thomas Curbillon unveils an irresistible first album, which connects happy and tender lyrics with the richness of solos, in a disc with mischievous lyrics, adorned with sumptuous arrangements… Enamelled with nods to Salvador, Aznavour and Nougaro, “Place Ste-Opportune” reconciles French song with swing. So French, so jazz! There was a time when jazz made the java. Carried by the magnificent piano of Eric Legnini, the double bass of Thomas Bramerie and the drums of Antoine Paganotti, who put heart into this work, Thomas Curbillon took pleasure in inviting the trumpeter Stéphane Belmondo to illuminate a few solo -some of his pieces.
