band

Bass and Voice encounter, spiced up with some loopers flavour, Espresso From Hell plays jazz and pop songs in it's own original way.

Everything started some years ago when Brigitte and Pierre, long time friends, decided to play in duo "just for fun". It went so well that despite the lack of free time it leaded to an album in 2015.

What else ?

what people say

Fantastic playlist guys...such a fresh and vibrant re-imagining of such classic tunes..particularly loving how stripped-back and graceful you perform the Lana del Ray track....just a gorgeous version!

"Eleanor Rigby" - great work! Best wishes, Egon Erger

One word: Yeaaaaah! Best wishes from Cologne – Versu

"Eleanor Rigby" totally creative version is awesome. Chuck Brunicardi

Eleanor Rigby is amazing! Incredibly rich musically!

On Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes, I liked the subtlety of the background instrumental performance. It's really complex and interesting and I like how well it complements the vocals. I like the vocals and how clear they are with respect to enunciation and articulation of the lyrics. I like that the lyrics tell a story. I like the tempo. I like the variety of instruments used for the background instrumental performance.
