Double entente, connivance, complicity, an almost telepathic relationship, a free flow of energy, the same wavelength – these are the words and expressions that characterise the affinities that link Manuel and Olivier in their friendly conversation. The result, without the support of a rhythm section, is a dialogue of complete confidence, with no net or artifice, never a duel, where the two accomplices do not allow themselves to escape from their presence. Here the exchange is never reduced to a simple succession of lines, but is lived in the very movement of the music. At the same time, on the edge of the moment, they listen to each other, they talk to each other, in short, they get along perfectly. Always on the lookout, the pianist accompanies, anticipates and extends Olivier’s undulating vocals with great intelligence and sensitivity. Manuel is well versed in the art of hitting the right notes, placing the chords exactly where the harmonica player needs them to breathe.
