Background: Organist, pianist, talented composer Emmanuel Bex is an indisputable leading figure of European Jazz. After a first record with a repertoire around Bex's compositions, the trio OPEN GATE presents a new recording which puts Bela Bartok in the very center of their project. Bela Bartok's compositions and Bex's compositions too, one of them being a new piece in 3 movements.

Bela Bartok is a major composer of the 20th century, whose music has contributed to the birth of contemporary jazz. He was one of the first to use irregular beats and to mix his elaborate music with ethnic and popular ones. He also initiated the dialogue with jazz, inviting Benny Goodman to create "contrasts". By a mirror effect,the trio OPEN GATE explores here the links which have been forged between this composer of genius and jazz.

Bex invited the superb musicians of the "Pays de Savoie" orchestra, conducted by Franck Tortiller, to help create this "concerto for trio and orchestra". Bex's work is a sort of tribute to Bartok he would never have dared imagine.
