Frédéric AlarieDouble bass player

Since his arrival on the jazz music scene in the late 1980s, Frédéric Alarie has never stopped deepening and enriching his double bass playing. He has a reputation as a skilled builder, who likes to deconstruct the agreed upon scaffolding of jazz and erect it again. His game is described as fluid, sensitive and most daring. He joined the ensembles of Bernard Primeau, Lorraine Desmarais, Jean-Pierre Zanella and Yannick Rieu to name just a few. From Canada to China, via France, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Germany, Poland and the United States, everywhere as a guest, he left his mark as a double bassist of very high caliber. He had the chance to play with famous artists such as Oliver Jones, Ranee Lee, Sheila Jordan, John Abercrombie, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Georges Benson, Salvator Adamo, Nathalie Dessay, Charles Aznavour and Michel Legrand.
