Jacques Schwarz-Bart (born December 22, 1962 in Les Abymes) is a New York … Read Full Bio ↴Jacques Schwarz-Bart (born December 22, 1962 in Les Abymes) is a New York based jazz saxophonist. His mother is the Guadeloupean novelist Simone Schwarz-Bart, author of The Bridge of Beyond. His father was French Jewish author Andre Schwarz-Bart. The two published a joint novel, Un plat de porc aux bananes vertes, in 1967. The family traveled widely, living in Senegal, Switzerland, and Goyave, Guadeloupe. Jacques Schwarz-Bart is dubbed "Brother Jacques" and his music has incorporated rhythm and blues as well as hip hop influences.[1]
His musical path is atypical. At age four, he was offered a Gwoka drum, and Anzala (one of the all time greats along with Velo and Carnot), showed him how to play the seven fundamental rhythms -Toumblak, Graj, Lewoz, Kalagya, Padjanbel, Mende, Woulé.
At age six, while living in Switzerland, he discovers Jazz music through his best friend’s dad record collection. Fascinated, he self teaches the guitar by playing along with records. By age eleven, he sat in with the players of the local Lausanne scene, but soon after, his family relocated in Guadeloupe. There, without a jazz scene, he concentrated on his studies, most notably at the prestigious School of Government called Sciences Po, and eventually landed a job as a Senator’s assistant in Paris. At twenty-four he appeared poised for a more conventional success, until by chance he tried a friend's tenor saxophone. He practiced between his long hours at the Senate, and three years later, he abandoned his nascent career to attend Berklee School of Music.
After a grueling practice schedule that spanned four years, he graduated from Berklee, and developed a reputation by playing with acknowledged leaders of the Boston jazz scene, such Danilo Perez, Bob Moses, Giovanni Hidalgo, before leaving for New York City. One week upon arriving there, goes to hear Chucho Valdes, Roy Hargrove and Randy Brecker perform at Bradlee’s Jazz Club. In a moment of boldness, he pulls out his horn, jumps on stage and joins in. One month later, he gets a call from Roy Hargrove to replace David Sanchez in his Latin Jazz band, Crisol. By early 2000, he earns his nickname, "Brother Jacques," from musician D'Angelo, in praise of Schwarz-Bart's musicianship. In addition to Hargrove and D'Angelo, Schwarz-Bart has done session work and performed live with Erykah Badu, Eric Benet, Meshell N’degeocello, James Hurt, Danilo Perez, Soulive, Ari Hoenig and David Gilmore, among others. His tune “Forget Regret” was the single on Roy Hargrove’s 2003 album Hard Groove.
Jacques Schwarz-Bart has produced several personal projects. After a straight ahead CD entitled Immersion, comes The Brother Jacques Project: a mixture of soul and jazz, with layers of Caribbean rhythms, featuring the vocalist Stephanie McKay. With his 2007 album on Universal, Soné Ka-La,Jacques Schwarz-Bart is one of the first musicians to fully explore the connection between Gwoka and jazz, two musical styles of the African Diaspora. The project features musicians such as Admiral T and Jacob Desvarieux of Kassav'. It is his oldest project, and yet the one that took the longest to achieve.

Jacques Schwarz-Bart Lyrics
Bébé entre nous c'est que du fake love
J'en est trop donner
Maintenant je trouve que c'est enough
C'est enough
Bébé ouais pour toi c'est enough
A cause de ma solitude sa me rendu trop fuck up fak deso si chui on & off
Bébé entre nous c'est que du fake love
J'en est trop donner
Maintenant je trouve que c'est enough
C'est enough
Bébé ouais pour toi c'est enough
A cause de ma solitude sa me rendu trop fuck up fak deso si chui on & off
Perdu dans mes propres pensées
Sta cette pétasse que je fais que repenser
Jme dis que j'aurais peut être besoin d'elle mais jme dis que j'serais d'arrêter dis penser
Perdu dans mes propres pensées
Sta cette pétasse que je fais que repenser
Jme dis que j'aurais peut être besoin d'elle mais jme dis que j'serais d'arrêter dis penser
Tellement perdu dans mes pensées sombres
Que je commence a avoir peur de mon ombre
Mon gars tu connais deja c quoi mon nom
YNG Bart arrive comme une bombe sur le son
Parce que faire des sons everyday every night c'est sa qui m'aide à apaiser mon fucking sort
Yeah
C'est de ma tête faut qu'tu sort
Même si au final c'est moi qui avait tort
Tu pouras dire que tu me lavais mais c'est la seule chose ta vrai apart tout ses conneries
Yeah
Tu raconte que des goleries
sans toi, des pétasse ouais j'en ai cent milles
Des comme toi j'en ramasse a la pelle
Bébé j'attend plus de tes appelles
Si tes pas contente, deso ma belle
A chaque semaine moi je fume ma paye
Perdu dans mes propres pensées
Sta cette pétasse que je fais que repenser
Jme dis que j'aurais peut être besoin d'elle mais jme dis que j'serais d'arrêter dis penser
Perdu dans mes propres pensées
Sta cette pétasse que je fais que repenser
