The Shape Of Jazz To Come

Description

"The Shape Of Jazz To Come" (Something Else) combines the breath of history and ancient secrets, the wind of the moment, and outlines the contours of a jazz that is always to come, for those who play it and those who listen. Daniel Yvinec
Without any concession, Pierrick continues his irresistible ascent exploring a jazz that is ever deeper; spiritual and communicative, virtuosic and contemporary. This singular force places him today among the great international soloists and offers him a prime spot among the iconic leaders of the European scene.
In parallel to a prolific discography, Pierrick Pédron has been performing on stages since 2019 at the head of a French quartet. It consists of the essential bassist Thomas Bramerie (Toots Thielemans, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jacky Terrasson), a partner of 30 years, and two exciting figures from the new scene: pianist Carl-Henri Morisset (Archie Shepp, Arnaud Dolmen ...), "30 years old and with an extraordinary musicality" according to Louis-Julien Nicolaou (Télérama), and drummer Elie Martin-Charrière (Robinson Khoury, Mark Priore...), "a major drummer of today's French jazz" according to Pascal Anquetil (Jazz Magazine).
This intergenerational quartet has managed to develop over time an extraordinary way of living (jazz) together. In the great tradition of transmission, the striking maturity of some blends with the magmatic vitality of others. The whole then becomes a unique, moving, interconnected, creative, and demanding entity, far superior to the sum of its parts.
