ROSETTA: LIVE AT JAZZ FESTIVAL SCHAFFHAUSEN (2003
ROSETTA is Pierre-François Massy's making
In 1993, he puts together a quintet of musicians and close friends to play and sometimes reinvent his own compositions (Matthieu Michel - bugle, Yves Massy - trombone, Daniel Perrin - accordion and piano, Marcel Papaux - drums and Pierre-François Massy - double bass), all very engaged and highly recognised artists, well-known for their virtuosity and outstanding originality.
Their first concerts take place in Théâtr'Onze in Lausanne on December 22nd and 23rd 1993. Later, several concerts will be given every year all over Switzerland.
A first CD is released in 1995 ("Lune Rousse" Unit Records), followed by "La Ménagerie De Poche (Altrisuoni), in 1998.
The guitar player Christian Graf joins the group in 1999, and Daniel Perrin adds the generous sound of the bandoneon to the ensemble. The third recording of the group takes place in 2001: "En Public" (Atrisuoni), followed by a tour in Czech Republic.
Rosetta held their last concert on May 15th 2003 when they were invited by the Jazzfestival Schaffhausen (Schaffhauser JazzFestival) recorded by SFR, where they mainly played pieces of the last CD. The contrast between both recordings is so striking, that it justifies this project. It will recall for the audience both the energy and creativity of a leading group of that epoch in Switzerland.

Born in Lausanne in 1955.
Started playing the double bass in 1974. Classical studies at the Conservatoire de Lausanne: from 1975 to 1985 in the class of Francis Marcellin (1st prize for virtuosity with congratulations), and from 1990 to 1991 in the class of Yoan Goilav (concert license).

REVIEWS
« Es war ein besonderes Konzert, weil es das letzte einer eigenwilligen Band war. Rosetta boten am Schaffhauser Jazzfestival 2003 ein energetisches Panorama ihres Sounds, der so typisch war für jene Zeit des New Jazz aus der Romandie. Und doch so anders, weil verspielt und virtuos. Der Mitschnitt ist nun als Download beim Label Claves erhältlich und ermöglicht ein Wiederhören mit dem Allstar-Sextett rund um Bassist Pierre-François Massy. » - Frank von Niederhäusern, September 2023
