"The Hookup". A band name worn as a manifesto to describe the fusion and energy that these four musicians develop on stage.

The origin is a desire shared by the Moutin brothers and Géraldine Laurent. After several one-night concerts in various contexts, they decide to create a common project. A home-session with Noé Huchard later and it’s the birth of the group The Hookup. For their first album "Twenties", the idea arises to arrange standards from the 20s and thus, trace as a red thread linking the origin of jazz to its present one century later. A way to question the meaning of today’s jazz, by visiting the timeless melodies of yesterday in the light of the inventions that have occurred since.

The absolute necessity to break the shackles is inscribed in the DNA of jazz, and the project "Twenties" is indeed thought in this perspective. Far from being confined to a simple tribute or to any re-reading, it is clearly part of modernity and reflects the passion these four artists have for jazz and what it conveys of liberating madness.
