The Rongetz Foundation - Velvet Bullet

The Rongetz Foundation is back with a new album named Velvet Bullet. The forceful
music of the adapting sextet is generating a wide range of sensations. From the
punchy « Sun Strike » to the hypnotizing « Optophobia », auditors will be able to bounce
and dance to « Velvet bullet », « Whirling Dervish » and « Baroque Buffoon ».
Rongetz acts as caster in chief and brings in some of the most promising talents of the
New York jazz scene. Simon Moullier on Vibes is already recognized by Herbie Hancock
and Quincy jones as one of the best musician of his generation, same goes for Jonathan
Barber (Drums) Tivon Pennicott (Tenor Sax) and Alexander Claffy on Acoustic Bass.
Also featuring on the album is a Nuyorican gem that Rongetz discovered in Manhattan few
years ago, Carlos Jimenez (Flute). Keita Oggawa (Percussion) from Snarky Puppy has
also joined the team on two tracks.
Elegant and powerful, as demonstrated by the breath taking opening piece « Sun Strike »,
the Velvet Bullet will be out February 19th 2021 and is surely not to be dodged.
