This essential and motivating need for movement is linked to a molecule: Dopamine, often nicknamed "the happiness hormone."

Jean-Charles Acquaviva has seized this invisible energy to explore its origin, to translate its functioning and its effects with his language: notes, rhythm, timbre and that thrill specific to music.

All these elements contributed to the creation of this new album of original compositions, in a jazz style that is melodic, vibrant, and joyfully contemplative. In his hands and those of his highly responsive rhythm section—comprising Bertrand Beruard on double bass, Elie Martin-Charrière on drums, and Cédric Baud on guitar—the album " Dopamine " invites us on an inner journey, where each vibration is a step toward the life force.
