I am Raphael Herlem, I am proud to present my quintet project, the Raphael Herlem Quintet,
which was born out of my meeting with Thomas Lawrence, harmonicist.
It was born out of this meeting because we really liked the blend of our two instruments,
and color of sound that was produced by the saxophone with harmonica.
We are joined by Ouriel Ellert on electric bass,
William Carosella on keyboards ,
Martin Wangermée on drums.
I am really very excited about this team, it works really well,
they are excellent musicians with whom I am really thrilled to play with.
The music we play,
that I write,
is modern jazz ...
I'd say it falls into this particular category of jazz as there is a great deal of improvisation
(although also quite a few written parts),
I don't impose any limits on my writing,
and no style barriers ...
I feel like adding Latin rhythms ...
why not throw some jungle into the mix, or more rock hits, but also with swing,
I allow myself the freedom of exploring different styles, different colors.
We could however identify a particular attraction to everything groove orientated in this project.
We released a 5 track EP available on all good digital platforms - Itunes, Amazon etc ...
