After the success of the quintet album "Gravitational Waves" (Absilone/Socadisc, 2018), saxophonist Rémi Dumoulin and his longtime friend, pianist Bruno Ruder, have introduced a new album with reduced orchestration.

While "Gravitational Waves" was developed as a duo with the exceptional participation of drummer Billy Hart, the new album "THE RAINER TRIO" features a unique orchestration with Arnaud Biscay on drums, Bruno Ruder on Fender Rhodes, and Rémi Dumoulin on saxophones.

Rémi Dumoulin, with this trio, presents a repertoire of 8 pieces, including 6 original compositions. Some draw inspiration from the world of cinema ("Rainer Werner Fassbinder," "Filature"), while others serve as homages to various artists (Sergei Prokofiev with "A Single Melody from the Symphony 6th," Jack DeJohnette with "Jack," Silvio Rodriguez with "Get Down On Your Knees!," David Bowie with "My Plan").

As a film enthusiast, Dumoulin reinterprets Michel Legrand's composition "Will Someone Ever Look At Me That Way," originally sung by Barbra Streisand in the film "Yentl." Finally, Dumoulin arranges the song "Chelsea Bridge" by Billy Strayhorn, the alter ego of Duke Ellington.
