CLAUDE ARNOLD THIBAULT - SCAT C.A.T. (Canada) - New!
Rimouski-born bassist CLAUDE captivates audiences with his gentle voice, engaging personality and humor. The heart of his work and his real passion (apart from golf!) is vocal improvisation, known as scat. He deploys it in performances of jazz standards from the swing and bop eras, in which the general public enjoy immersing themselves. His first album, Vodova Day - produced by Alain Bédard - provides a fine sample of his work... and it's getting thousands of listens a month on Spotify.
