Biography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a rich, singing tone and an unerring gift for melody, bassist Etienne Mbapp\u00e9 imparts even the most demanding musical contexts with grace, warmth, and humanity that transcends boundaries, genres, and languages. His gifts have been put to use as a member of John McLaughlin\u2019s 4th Dimension and the Ringers (with Jimmy Herring, Wayne Krantz, Michael Landau, and Gary Novak), along with sideman appearances with Joe Zawinul, Manu Dibango, Robben Ford, Salif Keita, Ray Charles, Steps Ahead, and saxophonist Bill Evans. Now audiences can experience Mbapp\u00e9’s own music via How Near How Far (available on DATE through Abstract Logix), his fourth solo album, and the first to focus on his instrumental music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Near How Far also marks the debut of Mbapp\u00e9’s new band the Prophets \u2013 featuring Christophe Crav\u00e9ro (acoustic and electric piano), Anthony Jambon (guitars), Cl\u00e9ment Janinet (violin), Arno de Casanove (trumpet, flugelhorn), Herv\u00e9 Gourdikian (tenor saxophone), and Nicholas Viccaro (drums, percussion). With the unusual trumpet\/tenor\/violin frontline leading the way, the Prophets explore eleven Mbapp\u00e9 originals, which touch on a number of international traditions while bridging cultural divides via deft musicianship and a thoughtful, conversational improvisational approach. \u201cMy music is influenced by places I have traveled, people I meet, colors I see, flavors that I taste, fun that I\u2019ve had, and, sometimes, the pain that I feel,\u201d Mbapp\u00e9 explains. \u201cWe live in a complex world today. I want nothing more than to bring that joy and understanding to people through music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
