Total duration of the pack : 1 hours 10 minutes

JEU DOUBLE
“These two exceptional musicians are identical: they're both very demanding; they're absolutely bursting with enthusiasm; and both of them get a bit wary if you treat them like friends too quickly! I wanted to bring them together for a series of concerts at the Salle Cortot, and it was two years before the idea finally took shape. Little by little, the two of them came to trust me… Today the record has finally come out!” Franck Mossler

Depuis que je suis en âge de fréquenter les boîtes de Jazz je suis toujours allé écouter Claude sans oser lui parler bien sûr ; sans lui dire que j’avais tous ses disques, sans lui dire que lycéen, j’avais gagné un concours en faisant les claquettes sur un de ses morceaux (Not This Time), sans lui avouer que j’avais commencé à jouer de la batterie en m’entraînant sur ses disques en trio… Bref, j’étais comme l’amateur qui vient faire le “bœuf” dans la chanson de Michel Jonasz ! Quant à Fabrice, je suis allé le voir quatre fois lors de son passage à Bobino ! Je disais à mes amis : “Venez voir Fabrice Eulry car vous n’avez jamais vu ça de votre vie !” Lorsqu’il a établi son record de durée au Petit Journal Montparnasse (24 heures non stop), j’étais près de lui pendant 24 heures. Je ne connais pas de pianiste aussi talentueux alliant technique, sensibilité et un tel sens du show ! Ces deux musiciens d’exception sont identiques : exigeants avec eux-mêmes, bouillonnants d’enthousiasme et méfiants quand on les considère trop vite comme des amis. L’idée de les réunir pour une série de concerts à la Salle Cortot a pris deux ans. Petit à petit tous deux m’ont offert leur confiance et même la grande chance de jouer avec eux deux lors de concerts organisés par André Damon (fondateur du Petit Journal) en Aveyron. Aujourd’hui le disque voit enfin le jour… Je repense au premier soir sur la scène de Cortot quand j’ai présenté le concert. J’étais fier d’être des leurs, fier de les avoir réunis, fier de savoir que le public allait vibrer et fier d’avoir compris qu’ils ne pratiquaient pas avec moi un double jeu, ou plutôt… un Jeu Double ! Keep swinging Claude, Fabrice et… Merci !

A la belle époque d’Age tendre et tête de bois, Albert Raisner avait organisé un duplex musical entre le jeune pianiste classique Jean-Bernard Pommier, qui avait remporté le Prix Tchaïkovski et qui venait d’obtenir le Prix Marguerite Long, et moi. Me piquant à ce jeu inhabituel, j’ai très vite composé une Sonate pour deux pianistes que nous avons créée ensemble au Grand Echiquier de Jacques Chancel, puis que j’ai jouée avec d’autres grands pianistes à travers le monde. Sur ce mode inhabituel (trio jazz et interprète classique, chacun parlant son langage), j’ai ensuite écrit pour la flûte de Jean-Pierre Rampal, la guitare d’Alexandre Lagoya, la trompette de Maurice André… Lorsque Franck Mossler m’a proposé un duo avec Fabrice Eulry, la gageure était autre. Ce marathonien du piano, avec sa fougue et son enthousiasme était le partenaire rêvé pour des dialogues improvisés ou rigoureux, mais toujours surprenants. De plus, je garde une affection toute particulière pour la salle Cortot de l’Ecole Normale de Musique où nous avons enregistré. Cest là que j’ai fait mes débuts à 14 ans, à l’initiative du Hot Club de France qui y organisait ses concerts du dimanche après-midi.

Par sa musique, Claude Bolling est de ceux qui m’ont fait rêver, et fait comprendre que ce rêve n’était pas inaccessible. Je n’ai surmonté les doutes et les obstacles, trouvé le courage d’affronter un travail obsessionnel dont le salaire est avant tout spirituel, et escaladé lentement le mont de grâce du haut duquel je les entends, que guidé par le son de tels maîtres. En 1993, j’osai inviter Claude Bolling à ma “Nuit du ragtime”. Aurions-nous connu cette musique en France sans lui ? Dans la salle bondée, je l’entrevis trois secondes assis sur un escalier, incognito. Puis reçu ses félicitations chaleureuses la semaine suivante. Un an plus tard il m’offrit son parrainage et sa participation gracieuse pour cet évènement qui gagna ainsi en régularité. Cependant le duo ne coulait pas de source ; dans notre métier rien ne va de soi. Il naquit peu à peu par l’initiative d’amis communs : Dédé (André Damon), Coco (Claude Philips), Joël Behuet et Francis Tarpin du Petit-journal, la pianiste et chanteuse Séverine Croisiard, Jean Meyniel du festival de Decazeville et enfin Franck Mossler qui nous a produit à la salle Cortot, réalisant lui aussi son rêve...

english notes
I’ve been going to hear Claude Bolling play ever since I was old enough to get into a jazz club. Not that I ever dared to say a word to him of course: I never told him I had all his records, or that when I was in high-school I’d won a competition tap-dancing to a piece of his called Not This Time. Nor did I tell him I used one of his trio records to practise on when I started playing the drums... As for Fabrice, I went to see him four times when he was playing at Bobino... I was saying to friends, “Come and see Fabrice Eulry; you’ve never seen anything like him before!” When he set his endurance record playing twenty-four hours nonstop (at the Petit Journal Montparnasse), I was there right next to him for the whole twenty-four. I don’t know of any other pianist with his talent who has such a combination of technique, feeling and showmanship... These two exceptional musicians are identical: they’re both very demanding – they ask a lot of themselves! –, and they’re absolutely bursting with enthusiasm; and both of them get a bit wary if you treat them like friends too quickly! I wanted to bring them together for a series of concerts at the Salle Cortot, and it was two years before the idea finally took shape. Little by little, the two of them came to trust me, and they even gave me a great chance to play with them, at concerts which [Petit Journal founder] André Damon was organising down in Aveyron. Today the record has finally come out... it takes me right back to that first night on stage at the Cortot, when I introduced the concert. I was proud to be one of them, and also that I’d brought them together. I was also quite proud to know that the audience was feeling the same vibrations... And I took special pride in the fact that, with me, they hadn’t been playing the “double game” that the title of the record suggests! Keep swinging, Claude and Fabrice, and ...Thanks!!

I used to be on a popular TV show in the Sixties called Age tendre et tête de bois; one day the show’s host Albert Raisner organised a simultaneous broadcast: there was a young classical pianist called Jean-Bernard Pommier who’d won the Tchaikovsky Prize (and he’d just received the Marguerite Long Prize); and there was me. I was hooked on the idea – I hadn’t done this sort of thing before – and I wrote a Sonate pour deux pianistes... which the two of us performed for the first time on Jacques Chancel’s TV show Le Grand Echiquier. Since then I’ve played it with other great pianists all over the world. I went on to do other things in this unusual format – a jazz trio and a classical performer, each using his own language – and I’ve written flute pieces for Jean-Pierre Rampal, guitar pieces for Alexandre Lagoya, and I’ve composed for Maurice André’s trumpet as well. But when Franck Mossler came to me with a proposal for Fabrice Eulry and I to play duets... it was something else again, a seemingly impossible task. But he plays piano like a marathon-runner: he has extraordinary energy and enthusiasm, and it makes him an ideal partner for a dialogue, whether improvised or strictly written, but always full of surprises. To cap it all, I’ve always had a soft spot for the Salle Cortot at the “Ecole Normale de Musique”, which is where we recorded. I made my debut there when I was fourteen, playing at one of the concerts that the Hot Club de France organised on Sunday afternoons...

With his music, Claude Bolling belongs to the people who’ve given me dreams, and also helped me realize that no dream is out of reach. The only way I could overcome the doubts and all the obstacles, find the courage to face an obsessive amount of work – with a salary that was strictly spiritual – and then slowly climb the Mount of Grace from whose top I could hear them, was by being guided by such masters. In 1993 I dared to invite Claude Bolling to my “Ragtime Night”. Would the French have ever discovered that music without him? The room was packed, and for about three seconds I glimpsed him sitting on the stairs, incognito. In the course of the following week, he sent me his warmest congratulations. A year later he offered his sponsorship, and his kindly participation made it a more regular event. The duo wasn’t something we could take for granted, however; in our business nothing goes without saying. It gradually came into existence thanks to friends we had in common: Dédé (André Damon), Coco (Claude Philips), Joël Behuet et Francis Tarpin at the Petit-Journal, pianist & singer Séverine Croisiard, Jean Meyniel from the Decazeville Festival, and Franck Mossler, of course, who produced us at the Salle Cortot and made a dream of his own come true...
