History of Our trio

In 2009, Gerald brings together two Simonet Rhone Alpin musicians to form a trio: Daniel Julien (guitar) and Marc De Sousa (bass). The musical identity of the trio is rooted in jazz music to re-arrange … hence the name “Our trio” by Julian find Daniel. This name refers to the guitar amp lamps New Old Stock. These lamps were previously used for military technologies. They are now re-used, re-manufactured for tube amps … from the old to the “old-new” …

In 2010, Jean Pierre Moncada (saxophonist) replaces Julian Daniel. In the same vein, Gerald Simonet with the help of Marc de Sousa makes a collective Our trio of jazz.
