Jacques Schwarz-Bart (born December 22, 1962 in Les Abymes) is a New York-based jazz saxophonist.
Biography
His mother is the Guadeloupean novelist Simone Schwarz-Bart, author of The Bridge of Beyond. His father was French-Jewish author André Schwarz-Bart. The family traveled widely, living in Senegal, Switzerland, and Goyave, Guadeloupe. Jacques Schwarz-Bart was dubbed "Brother Jacques" and his music has incorporated rhythm and blues as well as hip hop influences.[1]
Schwarz-Bart's first instrument was the Gwo ka drum which he learned to play as a child, coached by Anzala (one of the top percussionists on Guadeloupe).[2] He also learned the biguine style of music. At age six, while living in Switzerland, he discovered jazz music and taught himself guitar by playing along with jazz records.
Schwarz-Bart graduated from the School of Government called Sciences Po, and took a job as a Senator’s assistant in Paris. When he was 24, he began playing saxophone, and after three years, left his position in government, and attended the Berklee School of Music, in Boston, Massachusetts.[3]
In addition to his work with Roy Hargrove and D'Angelo, Schwarz-Bart did session work, and performed live with, Erykah Badu, Eric Benet, Meshell N’degeocello, James Hurt, Danilo Perez, Ari Hoenig and David Gilmore. His tune, "Forget Regret", was a single on Hargrove’s 2003 album "Hard Groove."
In 2005, Schwarz-Bart left Hargrove's band and began the Gwoka Jazz Project which included musicians such as Admiral T and Jacob Desvarieux of Kassav', and resulted in two albums with Universal, Soné Ka La and Abyss.[4] In 2010, he released Rise Above which is a collaboration with singer Stephanie McKay, who is also his wife.[5]
In 2018, French independent record label alter-nativ released the record SHIJIN with Jacques Schwarz-Bart, pianist Malcolm Braff from Switzerland, bassist Laurent David from France and drummer Stephane Galland from Belgium.[6]
