Portrait Hubert Dupont

Hubert Dupont performs solo, or with SAWADU, or with DUPONT T, or 'electronically' (NIGMA-E)...

He explores the secret and tortuous paths of creative music - improvised or premeditated - with passion...

He has performed in cities as diverse as Clusone and Palermo (Italy), Helsinki (Finland), Tallinn (Estonia), Vancouver (Canada), Amsterdam and Groningen (Netherlands), Liege and Brussels (Belgium), New York, Philadelphia, Washington (USA), Berlin, Mainz and Cologne (Germany), Zurich, Lausanne, Basle, Geneva (Switzerland), Vienna (Austria), Stockholm and Malmö (Sweden), Constantine (Algeria), Tanger (Morocco), St Louis (Senegal), Cayenne (Guyana), and even at the Opera of Cairo...

His musical experience is strongly oriented towards musical research as well as receptivity to new forms: from formal constraints to total improvisation; from pure acoustic to pure electronic…

Hubert Dupont co-leads SAWADU, with Hervé Samb and Brice Wassy ; he invites in his band DUPONT T (2006-07-08) indo-new-yorker saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa for Spider's Dance (****Jazzman) and a France & USA tour ; Hubert Dupont is the double bass player of KARTET (since 1990 with Benoît Delbecq, Guillaume Orti, Chander Sardjoe), and the electric bass player of THÔT, Stéphane Payen's band; in 1993 he co-founded Collectif HASK; he led the bands ALTISSIMO (1994-99) and DECOR (1997-2000).

In 1981 Hubert Dupont is an engineer (graduating from the French Engineering University, INSA, in Lyon), then a research worker (in thermomechanical treatments of materials ! ), while preparing a post-master's diploma that he never finished.... During this period, he teaches himself guitar, learns to play Hendrix, Jeff Beck, George Benson, John Renbourn … without worrying about the names of notes or chords! He finally joins a Jazz School (AIMRA), buys his first double bass in 1983 and puts his guitar definitively away (except for the odd dance gig, at the beginning ...). He then attends master classes with Bill Dobbins, Don Cherry and Nana Vasconcelos, Steve Swallow, Jean-François Jenny-Clark, then later with Dave Holland, the Paul Motian Trio, and Miroslav Vitous.

During the 1980s, in Lyon, he performs with jazz bands as well as with pop-music bands, African musicians, dancers... He also discovers free improvised music. He then joins ARFI, La Marmite Infernale, Yves Robert … Then there are the Jazz Festivals in Vienne and " Rive-de-Gier", the jazz club "Via Colomès", and also the music library where he discovers the Bibayak Pygmies (wonderful Ocora discs!) and all kinds of jazz music.

In 1989, Hubert Dupont settles down in Paris and immediately starts studying with J.-F. Jenny-Clark, who will have a lasting influence on his music: an amazingly talented instrumentalist, J.-F. Jenny Clark had a unique personal sound, an original approach to improvised music, a great wealth of musical ideas, and thus the highest technical demands.
Hubert meets up with former friends for frequent jazz sessions and club dates, with Allan Jones, François Théberge, Julien Lourau and many others. In 1989, Paris is the place where modern African music is happening, with famous bass and drums players; it's also the meeting place for jazz musicians from all over the world, for those looking for an original way of playing where everything is possible, everything is still to be discovered and explored: Dave Holland and Steve Coleman are the best examples of this.

In 1990 he meets Guillaume Orti, Benoît Delbecq, Benjamin Henocq, and together they form a band that will be known as KARTET, and which will spend a year in Marseilles as a resident band: this provides him with a unique opportunity to devote himself entirely to a demanding yet exhilarating collective research adventure… an original sound, "an adventure of the imagination" … the wonderful drummer Chander Sardjoe joins the band in 1996 … in 2007 the fifth CD "The Bay Window" is released, on Songlines.

In 1991 Hubert begins collaborating with Quoi De Neuf Docteur (led by Serge Adam): five discs, many concerts… and becomes a very in-demand sideman; he has the pleasure of playing with Robin Eubanks, Harold Land, Glenn Ferris, George Brown, Tommy Smith, Alain Jean-Marie, Laurent De Wilde, Red Holloway, Deborah Brown, among others, at the Club La Villa …
But also with Steve Lacy, Stefano Di Battista, François Thuillier, Antoine Hervé, Philippe Sellam, Jean-Christophe Cholet, Mathias Rüegg, Paolo Fresù, Mathieu Michel, Claudio Pontiggia, Michael Arbenz, Wolfgang Puschnig, Gabor Gado, Etienne Brunet, Louis Winsberg, François Merville, Marc Liebeskind, Steve Potts, Yannick Rieu, Olivier Ker Ourio, David Patrois, Vancouver Improvisers' Collective...
And Norbert Lucarain, Geoffroy de Masure, Brice Wassy, David Venitucci, Nicolas Genest, Christophe Marguet, Pierre-Olivier Govin, Didier Haboyan, Sébastien Texier, Daunik Lazro, Noël Akchoté, Steve Argüelles, Hasse Poulsen; and from the Belgian jazz scene: Fabrizio Cassol, Antoine Prawerman, Stéphane Galland, Pierre Van Dormael, Laurent Blondiau, Michel Massot, Gianni Gebbia, Stefano D'Anna, Bertrand Denzler …

In 1993, Hubert Dupont co-founds Hask Collective with his friends from KARTET and some others, concerned by the necessary independence of artists, from the creative process (through their productions) to the audience... (in the manner of Arfi, M-Base, Aacm…) . A fantastic shared tool; an Independant Republic of Hask … an 'ear attitude' as Delbecq wrote in the fanzine " La Nébuleuse du Hask ".
Hask participates in animating the famous club 'Les Instants Chavirés'; improvised meetings, but also bands which are going to last…
In 1993 Hubert creates the children's show 'Animal Chorus' with his trio and the Mime Daniel; in 1996 he produces the music for the cartoon 'La Taupe et la Taupe' by Spinga and Olivier Esmein.

He founds and leads ALTISSIMO (1994-99), with Guillaume Orti, Philippe Sellam, Didier Haboyan, Pierre-Olivier Govin (but also Fabrizio Cassol, Sébastien Texier) playing alto saxophones, and Christophe Marguet playing drums (and Chander Sardjoe as well).

then DECOR (1996-2000) where he plays electric bass, with Geoffroy de Masure (trombone), David Venitucci (accordeon), the Cameroonian Brice Wassy (drums) and also Nicolas Genest, Stéphane Payen, Franck Vaillant. These bands were lucky enough to record on the Pee Wee label (Vincent Mahey) and performed at many festivals.

In 1996, Stéphane Payen founds THÔT, and asks Hubert to play electric bass with Gilles Coronado (guitar), and Christophe Lavergne (drums). Here again - and thanks to Stephane Payen's special music and the collective playing style that accompanies it - the exuberant band lives out its unbridled adventure before a large audience. The original band is involved in Thôt Agrandi, then Thôt Twin, then performs with slammers Felix and D'...Then Thôt joins Fode Diop Sabar Group and Ivan Ormond and creates the SABAR RING (premiere in St Louis du Senegal, then Banlieues Bleues Festival 2007...)

Outside jazz, Hubert performs with SABREEN, the group of the Palestinien singer Kamilya JUBRAN, with Nabil KHALIDI (oud / Maroc), Toufic FARROUKH (sax / Lebanon), Pierre RIGOPOULOS (zarb), Saeid Shanbeh Zadeh...

In 1998-99, he explores with his electric bass the possibilities of new improvised electronic music (different effects, sampler...), and organises the Festival de la Nébuleuse Hask at the Club Le Cithea, the first of a series, until Hask Collectif is disbanded in 2004.

	Hubert Dupont se produit en Solo ; avec DUPONT T ; avec NIGMA-E ; avec SAWADU ;.... Il arpente les chemins secrets et tortueux des musiques créatives - improvisées ou préméditées - avec gourmandise… Il s'est produit de Clusone à Palerme (Italie), de Helsinki (Finlande) à Tallinn (Estonie), de Vancouver (Canada) à Amsterdam ou Groningen (Pays-Bas), de Liège et Bruxelles (Belgique), à New York, Philadelphie, Washington (USA) , Berlin, Mayence et Cologne (Allemagne), à Zurich, Lausanne, Bâle, Genève (Suisse), Vienne (Autriche), Stockholm, Malmö (Suède), Constantine (Algérie), Tanger (Maroc), St Louis (Sénégal), Cayenne (Guyane) et même à l'Opéra du Caire... Son parcours est à la fois entêté dans la démarche musicale, et ouvert à tous les sports : contraintes formelles, ou bien improvisation totale ; pur-acoustique, ou tout-électronique ... Hubert Dupont prend part à SAWADU, avec Hervé Samb et Brice Wassy ; il invite dans son groupe DUPONT T (en 2006-07-08) le saxophoniste indo-new-yorkais Rudresh Mahanthappa pour Spider's Dance (****Jazzman) et une tournée France et USA ; il est le contrebassiste de KARTET (depuis 1990 avec Benoît Delbecq, Guillaume Orti, Chander Sardjoe), et le bassiste très électrique de THÔT, le groupe de Stéphane Payen ; il co-fonda le Collectif HASK en 1993 ; il mena les aventures ALTISSIMO (1994-99) et DECOR (1997-2000). BIOGRAPHIE En 1981 Hubert Dupont est ingénieur (diplômé INSA de Lyon) puis chercheur (traitements thermomécaniques des matériaux !), il prépare un DEA, qu'il ne passera jamais … A cette époque, il est un guitariste autodidacte, il apprend à jouer Hendrix, Jeff Beck, George Benson, John Renbourn … sans se soucier du nom des notes et des accords ! Il s'est enfin tourné vers une école de jazz, l'Aimra ; en 1983 il achète une première contrebasse ; il suivra des stages avec Bill Dobbins ; avec Don Cherry et Nana Vasconcelos ; Steve Swallow ; Jean-François Jenny-Clark ; plus tard avec aussi Dave Holland ; Paul Motian Trio ; Miroslav Vitous. Pendant ces années 80, à Lyon, il joue avec des groupes de jazz, de pop ; avec des musiciens africains ; avec des danseurs ; il rencontre aussi la musique d'improvisation libre avec J.-François Canape, Jean Cohen ; avec Mario Stanchev ; puis ce sera des collaborations avec l'ARFI, La Marmite Infernale, Yves Robert … Il y a le Festival Jazz à Vienne, celui de Rive-de-Gier, le club Via Colomès ; il y a la médiathèque où on découvre les Pygmées Bibayak (merveilleux disques Ocora !) et tout le jazz. En 1989, Hubert s'installe à Paris et immédiatement étudie avec J.-F. Jenny-Clark, qui restera une influence marquante pour lui : un instrumentiste éblouissant, un son unique, une approche originale de l'improvisation, une grande richesse d'idées musicales, et donc aussi une grande exigence technique … Il retrouve des amis, multiplie les sessions, s'active dans les clubs, avec Allan Jones, François Théberge, Julien Lourau et bien d'autres. En 89, Paris est la ville où la musique africaine moderne se passe, avec de très grands bassistes et batteurs ; c'est aussi une plaque tournante pour les musiciens de jazz de tous pays ; pour les candidats à une démarche originale où tout est possible, où tout est à faire et à explorer, Dave Holland et Steve Coleman sont des exemples enthousiasmants. En 1990 il rencontre Guillaume Orti, Benoît Delbecq, Benjamin Henocq, et prend part à ce groupe … qui s'appellera KARTET, et qui vivra une année de résidence à Marseille : une chance unique de se consacrer à une recherche collective aussi éxigeante que jubilatoire … un son original, " une aventure de l'imagination " … le formidable batteur Chander Sardjoe rejoint le groupe dès 1996 … le groupe multipliera les tournées, et publiera en 2007 son 5ème CD : The Bay Window, sur Songlines. En 1991 Hubert commence une collaboration avec Quoi De Neuf Docteur (dir. Serge Adam), cinq disques, nombreux concerts… et devient un sideman demandé ; il aura le plaisir de jouer avec Robin Eubanks , Harold Land , Glenn Ferris , George Brown , Tommy Smith , Alain Jean-Marie , Laurent De Wilde, Red Holloway , Deborah Brown et d'autres, au Club La Villa … Mais aussi avec Steve Lacy , Stefano Di Battista , François Thuillier , Antoine Hervé , Philippe Sellam , Jean-Christophe Cholet , Mathias Rüegg , Paolo Fresù , Mathieu Michel , Claudio Pontiggia , Michael Arbenz , Wolfgang Puschnig , Gabor Gado , Etienne Brunet , Louis Winsberg , François Merville , Marc Liebeskind , Steve Potts , Yannick Rieu , Olivier Ker Ourio , David Patrois , le Vancouver Improvisers' Collective... Et aussi, Norbert Lucarain , Geoffroy de Masure , Brice Wassy , David Venitucci , Nicolas Genest , Christophe Marguet , Pierre-Olivier Govin , Didier Haboyan , Sébastien Texier ; Daunik Lazro , Noël Akchoté , Steve Argüelles , Hasse Poulsen ; sur la scène belge Fabrizio Cassol , Antoine Prawerman , Stéphane Galland , Pierre Van Dormael , Laurent Blondiau , Michel Massot … ou encore Gianni Gebbia , Stefano D'Anna , Bertrand Denzler, … Car dès 1993, Hubert Dupont co-fonde le Collectif HASK avec ses complices de Kartet et quelques amis, préoccupés par la nécessaire autonomie de l'artiste, depuis sa démarche, à travers ses productions, et jusqu'au public … (on pense à l'Arfi, au M-Base, à l'Aacm…) . Un génial outil en commun ; une République Indépendante de Hask … une attitude d'oreille, comme l'écrit Delbecq dans le fanzine " La Nébuleuse du Hask ". Hask contribue à animer l'ébullition du célèbre club Les Instants Chavirés ; rencontres improvisées, mais aussi groupes qui perdureront … En 1993 Hubert crée le spectacle Animal Chorus pour le " Jeune Public " avec son trio et le Mime Daniel ; en 96 il réalise la musique du dessin animé " La Taupe et la Taupe " de Spinga et Olivier Esmein. Il fonde et mène ALTISSIMO (1994-99), avec Guillaume Orti, Philippe Sellam, Didier Haboyan, Pierre-Olivier Govin (mais aussi Fabrizio Cassol, Sébastien Texier) aux saxophones alto, et Christophe Marguet à la batterie (mais aussi Chander Sardjoe) puis DECOR (1996-2000) avec basse électrique, et avec Geoffroy de Masure au trombone, l'accordéoniste David Venitucci, le batteur camerounais Brice Wassy (mais aussi Nicolas Genest, Stéphane Payen, Franck Vaillant) ; ces groupes auront la chance d'être enregistrés sur le Label Pee Wee de Vincent Mahey, et joueront sur de nombreuses scènes de festivals. En 1996, Stéphane Payen fonde THÔT, faisant appel à Hubert pour la basse électrique, à Gilles Coronado, à Christophe Lavergne : là encore - et grâce à la musique unique de Stéphane et au mode de jeu collectif qui l'accompagne - le groupe exubérant vit son aventure débridée devant de nombreux publics. Autour de ce noyau, Stéphane Payen construit Thôt Agrandi puis Thôt Twin, le groupe se produit avec les slammers FélixJ et D',... et s'engage avec Ivan Ormond et le Fodé Diop Sabar Groupe, dans l'aventure sénégalaise Sabar Ring (à Saint Louis du Sénégal, puis à Banlieues Bleues 2007)... Hors du jazz, Hubert Dupont se produit avec Sabreen, le groupe de la chanteuse palestinienne Kamilya Jubran ; avec Nabil Khalidi (oud / Maroc), Toufic Farroukh (sax / Liban), Pierre Rigopoulos (zarb) ; avec Saeid Shanbeh Zadeh ... En 1998-99, il explore avec la basse électrique les possibilités nouvelles de la musique électronique improvisée (nombreux effets, sampler …) ; il organise au club le Cithéa un Festival de la Nébuleuse Hask, qui sera le premier d'une série, jusqu'à la dissolution du Collectif en 2004.
