Peaks Invite Fidel Fourneyron

| Modern jazz, compositions

Led by saxophonist Florian Marques, the quartet PEAKS is releasing "Invitations" this year, its second album inviting us on a journey from the hills of Twin Peaks to Belleville and through the High Valleys of the Pyrenees and New York.

Resulting from artistic and human encounters, this new record, highlighting melody and improvisation, is designed as a dialogue between PEAKS and guest musicians with unique artistic personalities: Bojan Z on piano, Roman Reidid and Olivier Laisney on trumpet, and Fidel Fourneyron on trombone.

On this occasion, PEAKS will be in residence at 38Riv in 2026, for four exceptional quintet concerts with each of their album guests. This Wednesday, June 3, trombonist Fidel Fourneyron will be joining them!

Originally from Aquitaine, Fidel Fourneyron moved to Paris to complete his training in the jazz and improvised music class at the Conservatoire. Recognized by some of the biggest names in contemporary jazz (including Marc Ducret), he joined Olivier Benoit's National Jazz Orchestra in 2014. His new trio Animal, with Joachim Florent on double bass and Sylvain Darrifourcq on drums, released a highly acclaimed debut album on ONJazz Records in May 2018 (FFF Télérama, CHOC Jazz Magazine, Indispensable Jazz News, Elu Citizen Jazz…). Finally, he is the mastermind behind "¿Que Vola?", a large-scale creation bringing together three rising stars of Havana's rumba with his generation of French jazzmen and improvisers.
