Tell me something new

Description

With such a name, could this pianist escape a jazzman's fate? Alert phrasing, joyful virtuosity, and relaxed gestures, Dexter Goldberg has jazz at his fingertips. Among the most promising musicians on the French scene, he builds brilliant architectures that he constantly dismantles, with a clarity and assurance of movement that is dizzying. From rhythmic appointments to flowing sequences, from catchy grooves to sudden changes, this first album sounds like the playful manifesto of a trio that manages to expand an established formula through the grace of its writing and the constantly renewed pleasure of playing. Rooted in the sound of the great tradition, he never seems to be intimidated - a jazzman is born. His name is Dexter Goldberg.
