PianoForte

Four pianists share 2 pianos and 2 Fender Rhodes for an unprecedented and tantalizing encounter. Each in their own style, these keyboard musketeers have left their mark on the history of French jazz. Just one of many examples? They each have a Victoire du Jazz award on their mantelpiece. Baptiste Trotignon won in 2003, Pierre de Bethmann in 2008, Eric Legnini in 2011 and Bojan Z in 2012. Since their inaugural night at Tourcoing Jazz in 2019, the quartet has already played some thirty concerts, and not the least of them, having toured major jazz festivals such as Marciac, La Villette, Monte-Carlo and Jarasum in South Korea. With a repertoire maliciously blending standards and personal compositions, the four comrades promise an album worthy of the sonic jousting they celebrate on stage. Hold on tight!
