Washa !

Description

The 1st solo album of the rising star of jazz, Maher Beauroy! Maher Beauroy is the new signing of the Déclic Jazz label within Aztec, where he joins Mario Canonge and MizikOpéyi. He is one of the pianists making the most noise in the jazz scene right now. From the age of 5, his passion for the piano opened the doors to the Music Academy of Martinique and then to SERMAC - the art school created by Aimé Césaire - where he discovered jazz. In 2006, he left Martinique to settle in Paris where he checked all the boxes of the aspiring musician: DEM (Conservatoire Maurice Ravel), a degree in Musicology, and a master's in Music Business (Paris-Sorbonne) to his credit. It was in 2014 that he took the big leap and left for Boston where he deepened his knowledge with Eddy Gomez, Joanne Brackeen, Jacques Schwarz-Bart, Laszlo Gardony, and Billy Kilson. His journey at Berklee College of Music was rewarded with a Performance Division Piano Award in 2017. His first solo album, Washa!, recorded in Boston, crystallizes this moment of departure and emancipation. In Creole, "Washa" is an interjection to say the moment, the flash. In recent years, Maher Beauroy has played his music all over the world, a momentum that will continue with the release of his new album Washa! supported by TSF.
