Tony Paeleman

| Jazz, groove

Nominated for the Victoires du Jazz in the Revelation category in 2021, Tony Paeleman is a unique musician, who skillfully juggles the roles of producer and sound engineer, accompanist, and bandleader. He has crossed paths with Vincent Peirani, Anne Paceo, Youn Sun Nah, Émile Parisien, Marion Rampal, among others.
It is through a very personal lens that Tony Paeleman approaches this new album "Wise Animals". While he summons the trio whose birth was warmly welcomed with the release of "The Fuse" in 2021, this time it is an artistic gesture whose impact resonates far beyond just music.
This new album expresses contrasting and sometimes antagonistic feelings, singing the beauty of nature and the animal world that touch the heart and deeply move. It also conveys the fear of the annihilation of this beauty, the disappearance of these species, like the anticipated nostalgia of a collapsing world, suffocated by a human hyperactivity devoid of consciousness.
