A new pianist… lyrical and theatrical
André Manoukian trio
André Manoukian is an excellent jazz piano player. The famous and legendary record company Blue Note didn’t make a mistake by producing his first jazz album : “Inkala”. Backed-up by a popular and talented rhythmic session, the pianist unfolds his melodious sound, tinged with lyricism and elegance. His music is a subtle mix of original works and Armenian themes revived, like a tender journey into his childhood's land.
The energy of a powerful trio
Neil Cowley trio
The British born Neil Cowley is a real prodigy of a piano player. His first album “Displaced” won high praises within European Jazz reviews and was one of the best sales in England.
This opus unfolds all the musical expertise of this excellent composer and improviser, following the examples of the pianists Yaron Herman and the late missed Esbjörn Svensson.
Neil Cowley Trio gives us a resolutely modern jazz, powerful and swinging from the first to the very last note.
