Grégory Privat

This November, VLA welcomes a great pianist on the French jazz scene, Grégory Privat, to perform his latest album, YONN. The solo pianist's intimate music combines West Indian culture, classical music and jazz. Yonn is ONE in Creole, a programmatic title, like a return to the roots. 

Made up entirely of original compositions, this album is infused with a subterranean energy that exudes all the essence of the Caribbean in a discreet, sensual way. Under the sensitive, nimble fingers of the pianist, the music takes us on a contemplative journey, punctuated by the musician's voice, as some tracks are sung. 

This album, with its rare sensitivity and subtle fusion, is as much a tribute to the complex, multicultural origins of this talented young pianist as it is a hymn to freedom. 
A rare moment, an enchantment, a confidence full of light at the heart of this early autumn: not to be missed!
