I was twenty years old. I will not let anyone say it’s the best time of life “: this was the first sentence of Aden Arabia, the first book of Paul Nizan, then just graduated from Normal ‘Sup’. Truth at the time, experienced differently by the memory decades later and it surprised me that the musicians of BARTER contradict me today. André Ceccarelli, Alex Ligertwood, Jannick Top, Henri Jacky Giordano and Giraudo were not to have more than twenty when they recorded their first album in 1972 for CY Records in a good period for music that fused rock, blues, R & B with jazz. It was the time of Van Morrison, Jack Bruce of Cream bassist and singer (his voice still shakes me), Stevie Wonder but it was also that of Herbie Hancock and Weather Report bound to what was cataloged as jazz fusion, a time when fairy electricity required his presence. BARTER will never get the notoriety of Magma (had quickly joined Jannick Top) but will have left such good memories to its founding members, and to a certain audience, in 2011 they decided to put the ball in play . Universal will launch a disc with a renovated training, Amaury Filliard (electric guitar) and Julian Olivier Mazzariello (electric piano) joining the three founders that are André Ceccarelli (drums), Jannick Top (electric bass) and Alex Ligertwood (vocal).
