Both “Five of the Fruit” and “Montesacro” by the Philippe Bestion Trio center around a piano sound of exceptional clarity. However, they approach their compositions with slightly different nuances. “Five of the Fruit” showcases elegant piano melodies, with the keys leading the track and the trio providing a smooth, velvet-like support. Its melodic themes navigate a delightful space between neoclassical romanticism and jazzy techniques. The track focuses on emotional impact, prioritizing melody over complex rhythms or virtuosic displays (though skill is evident).
In contrast, “Montesacro,” which takes inspiration from Friedrich Nietzsche’s walk with Lou Salomé, while sharing the same pristine piano sound, it exhibits a more involved songwriting approach that adheres more closely to jazz standards. The track culminates in a powerful improvisational section, giving the artists space for freer expression.
The trio’s music will appeal to both dedicated jazz enthusiasts and listeners who prefer soulful songwriting over arrangements where technical skill overshadows the heart’s true voice.
