Artist Biographies

"Born on February 19, 1946 in Vendôme. A musical and pictorial journey over more than 40 years.

Recordings & solo tour in churches and abbeys: a solo disc "Dies Irae" was released at the end of 2006 at Amor Fati.

On 23 October 2008 at the Apsara bookshop, during his last concert at the viola Sylvain meets Thierry Carreras the drummer of the XoNdZf. The two men share the same ideas about music and especially about "free improvisation". They meet quickly with Dominique DuboisTaine the pianist to form the trio bBrrAx and begin to work regularly and perform in the Paris region.

In 2009, bBrrAx released the disc: " Freeture ", rather oriented free as the name suggests, at Believe. It's only online and it's downloadable everywhere (iTune, Fnac, Amazon, etc...)

"Double bass player, multi-instrumentalist (flugelhorn, guitar, drums...) without ever forgetting gesture and color, Jean Rougier questions sound, the pictorial, poetry: abstract reading of clouds and throwing stones, lapidary pareidolia, serendipity, stains, traces and pulsation... Tracing a furrow: from free jazz to free improvisation, from spontaneous composition to contemporary writing, in multi-disciplinary associations, in a permanent search. Solo, duo, trio, quartet... as an orchestral ensemble..."
