"Soley" is as if irradiated with the light of the solar star" latinsdejazz.com

In less than a decade, Grégory Privat has established himself as one of the most brilliant and captivating pianists on the French jazz scene. Soley, a hybrid universe where jazz, Caribbean and electronic music, piano and synthesizer, jazz trio heritage, classical tradition and song cohabit and mix.

For the first time, Grégory Privat also reveals himself as a singer and brings a vocal dimension between the instrumental and the narrative which gives his music a more important emotional force than ever.

"(...) This new opus symbolises optimism, energy, light and melody. Influenced first by Michel Petrucciani and perhaps also by Chick Corea and Rachmaninoff, his creations are above all driven by great sincerity, true emotion, and a sensitivity that is close to the skin. The piece Seducing The Rain, with its vocals and distortions, is a case in point, as the composer dares to use electro. Bravo", Ralph Boncy
