In this rare 1976 performance with Georges Moustaki, Bunny Brunel is heard before his emergence on the international jazz fusion scene—long before his work with Tania Maria, Chick Corea, or his debut album Touch. On upright bass, Brunel reveals the foundation of his musical identity: a deep, acoustic sensibility rooted in tone, phrasing, and support. His playing is understated yet expressive, grounding Moustaki’s vocal with a warmth and precision that speaks to his classical and jazz upbringing. What makes this moment so compelling is not just its intimacy, but its place in history—capturing Brunel at the threshold, before the electric innovations, when the instrument was still purely voice and resonance in his hands.
