Foundation BNP Paribas Night
Vadim Neselovskyi, piano solo
Young master piano solo
It comes as no surprise to learn that this young 33 year old pianist of Ukrainian origin has just received the prestigious Grand Prix Thelonious Monk and the 2nd prize in the international Martial Solal piano-jazz competition endowed by the Foundation BNP Paribas. Vadim Neselovskyi is a graduate of the prestigious Berklee School of Music and now lives in New York. He has already been described in the international press as an extraordinary pianist and composer, and has played with George Benson and Dee Dee Bridgewater. Since 2005 he has been in the line-up of the vibraphone player Gary Burton.
Moutin Reunion Quartet
A fusion of energy
The Moutin Reunion Quartet is the most energetic and fusion-orientated group of its generation as well as being one of those rare French groups to make an impact across the Atlantic. Twin brothers François and Louis Moutin created the group over a decade ago, and the quartet has developed its own inspirational New York jazz sound. Their partners: saxophone player Rick Margitza (one of the last sax players to work with Miles Davis) and pianist Pierre-Alain Goualch. They will present "Soul Dancers", their fifth opus, a work that showcases their talent as composers and their personal harmonious sound.
The Foundation BNP Paribas supports the international Martial Solal piano-jazz competition and endows its second prize. It also supported The Moutin Reunion Quartet career.
