Frédéric Alarie

Since his arrival on the jazz scene in the late 1980s, Frédéric Alarie has constantly deepened and enriched his double bass playing. He has a reputation as a skilled builder, who likes to deconstruct conventional jazz scaffolding in order to erect new ones. His playing is described as fluid, sensitive and daring. He has joined the ensembles of Bernard Primeau, Lorraine Desmarais, Jean-Pierre Zanella and Yannick Rieu, to name but a few. From Canada to China, via France, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Germany, Poland and the United States, everywhere as a guest, he has left his mark as a double bassist of the highest calibre. He has played with such illustrious artists as Oliver Jones, Ranee Lee, Sheila Jordan, John Abercrombie, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Georges Benson, Salvator Adamo, Nathalie Dessay, Charles Aznavour and Michel Legrand.
