Hubert Dupont, bassist , obstinate agitator and a cheerful composer, crosses the path of another explorer of the new languages of jazz and new improvised music the Brazilian magician Nelson Veras. With the drummer Pierre Mangeard, as expert as instinctive, they draw a series of curves, of senseless colors, of acrobatic accelerations, they collectively lead dramaturgies to the enigmatic rules of the game. They are also companions of the great pioneers of today's jazz (Aka Moon, Steve Coleman, Mahanthappa, Magic Ma-lik, Delbecq, ...)

The poetic alchemy in his music shows his fascination for new forms - improvisation has to be a game with new rules – as well as unexpected elements of rooted traditions, with an expressive and steady tone. In 2005, he was named as the best Newcomer of 2005 for his bass-solo album Ultraboles. He leads Dupont T, inviting indo-new-yorker sax player Rudresh Mahanthappa, and re-leases the acclaimed Spider’s Dance in 2007. Dupont T reinvents itself and becomes Smart Grid in 2017, the album has been released in October 2018.

He leads VoxXL!, an encounter between Mike Ladd’s spoken word and its traditional Sen-egalese version : the “tassou”, sung by Ibrahima Diasse ; also Golan a jazz sextet with ori-ental flavor based on Trio Sabil.

He plays the double-bass in KARTET (since 1990 with Benoit Delbecq, Guillaume Orti & Chander Sardjoe), and electric bass in THÔT, Stephane Payen’s band.

He performed and recorded with such jazzmen as Robin Eubanks, Harold Land, Steve Lacy, Glenn Ferris, or Laurent De Wilde, Magic Malik, Hasse Poulsen, Stefano Di Battista, Fabrizio Cassol, Steve Argüelles, Wolfgang Puschnig, Nicolas Genest, Calvin Weston, the Vancouver Improvisers’ Collective... as well as the Parisian underground scene. Out of jazz, he also performed with Fodé Diop Sabar Group (Sabar Ring), with Kamilya Jubran, Nabil Khalidi, Toufic Farroukh, Elie Maalouf, Saeid Shanbehzadeh…

His latest musical adventure Hubert Dupont Explore Explove was presented at the Festi-val Sons d'Hiver on February 3, 2018.
