Pierre Manetti

As part of the evenings sponsored by Thomas Dutronc

Born in '93, Pierre Manetti's future seems already mapped out. He is the youngest son of the famous guitarist Romane and the brother of Richard Manetti, also a guitarist. So it was under his father's guidance that Pierre Manetti sketched out his first notes on the guitar, and gradually honed his playing.
In 2009, he won the Prix Spécial Jeunes Talents at the Festival des Puces de Saint-Ouen. This was followed by a series of encounters which naturally led him to play in numerous jazz clubs, including the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées for the tribute to Django Reinhardt: Django 100.
On the strength of these experiences, Pierre presents us with first shot, his first album.

It's a real band, with Christophe Cravero on the C2D organ, drummer Laurent Locuratolo and bassist Henri Dorina all playing in succession.
Pierre Manetti's guitar playing is at its best on the ten original compositions he has written himself.
The freshness and enthusiasm of his contributions are infectious, and win instant support. Endowed with a flawless intensity that doesn't shy away from a few sumptuous ballads, first shot hits the bull's-eye.
