Jam Session With Simon Chivallon

New talent of the hexagonal jazz, sideman and leader, Simon Chivallon likes above all, the stage ! Light Blue, his latest album, goes with equal happiness from Monk to the Beatles, from Gabriel Fauré to Georges Brassens. The pianist assumes his love of melody and unveils a series of personal compositions that do not lack character. With a rare freshness of inspiration, his album brilliantly imposes the feeling and lyricism of an artist for whom jazz speaks for itself.

For this jam session, the young pianist tackles the impressive work of Jerome Kern. American composer and pianist, he greatly influenced the world of musical comedy at the beginning of the 20th century. His contribution to the history of music is immense, with over 700 songs to his credit and more than 100 Broadway productions. Kern's music is timeless and his creations have inspired many artists across generations. His ability to convey emotion through words and music is unparalleled. Listening to his music, one is transported into a magical world where imagination has no limits!

Simon Chivallon hosts the #PlaceAuxJeunes jam, one Sunday a month, accompanied by the talents of his generation, with generous tributes that speak to the greatest number. If jazz is a way of living music in the moment, Simon Chivallon is the embodiment of it, and each solo shows it by its spontaneity and its frankness. There is no room for pretence: what is played is what comes, a sensitivity that expresses itself, a talent that breathes and seeks to touch the listener.
