Attachez vos ceintures et regardez bien dans le rétro pour voir que l’esprit du groupe est bel et bien viseur, toutefois, prenez garde à l’angle mort car ce quartet n’a pas fini de surprendre.
Invited by Ricardo Del Fra to perform at the IAJE 2008 in Toronto, Yann Joussein formed Rétroviseur. After a huge success they moved on to tour Europe and played in several prestigious venues and festivals including the famous "jazz à la villette" and the Goethe Institute in Germany. The jazz press including Jazzmagazine's renouned Frank Bergerot wrote numerous elogius articles and contributed to them winning the "Jazz Migration" program from "AFIJMA". Consequently they are programmed for 2010 to play in most of the Jazz clubs and festivals in France and Europe.
All compositions are written by Yann Joussein and are a perfect melting pot of simplistic pop songs inter-twinned with intricate jazz improvisations and free jazz sonorities.
The members of Rétroviseur have each played with many influential contemporary jazz musicians such as Jim Black, Marc Ducret, Archie Shepp, Riccardo Del Fra, Bernard Lubat, Evan Parker, Aka Moon, Barry Guy to name a few.
Retroviseur is also part of a great collective called "coax", located in paris.
