The Crossing, first single from upcoming duo with Grégory Privat

Jacques Schwarz-Bart & Gregory Privat Present “The Crossing”

In anticipation of their upcoming duet album “22,” set to release in May 2025, Jacques Schwarz-Bart and Gregory Privat have unveiled “The Crossing,” an original composition by Schwarz-Bart. This poignant piece is inspired by the transatlantic journey of millions of Africans, forcibly taken from their homeland to the Americas during the slave trade.

Absolutely Sublime
Nicholas Payton
A profound musical reflection on the historical trauma of the transatlantic journey of millions of Africans, “The Crossing” blends the emotional prowess of Schwarz-Bart’s saxophone with the nuanced elegance of Privat’s piano.

C’est le battement de deux cœurs qui imprime le mouvement d’une musique toute en épure. Portées par un seul souffle, les inspirations de Jacques Schwarz-Bart et Grégory Privat survolent les continents, tissent des mélodies aux accents intemporels et s’envolent très haut, là où l’âme et le corps ne font plus qu’un.
