Thierry Vaton 5Tet

Thierry Vaton signs his first album Bel Matjoukann, an elegance of compositions and a wide range of emotions that he transmits through his music.

Musician from Martinique with a powerful style and accomplished technicality. Thierry Vaton reveals his passion since 1972. From the drums to the flute, all instruments suit him but it is the piano that will make his career. Pianist with bouncing notes, Thierry puts his talent at the service of the most diverse styles and cultures. Thierry Vaton is best known for his talent as an accompanist for artists such as Angélique Kidjo, Malavoi, Miriam Makeba and Andy Narell, so it was time to finally talk about him as a leader! With Bel Matjoukann, Thierry Vaton returns to his first love, the marriage of jazz and the Caribbean, in which he excels. And to do this, he surrounds himself with a high-level cast: Irving Acao, the Cuban saxophonist with a unique groove, Nicolas Pélage and his powerful voice, Rody Céréyon and his magical touch on the bass and Tilo Bertholo, the drummer who cannot be ignored on the jazz scene!  

His meeting with the public is a shared journey with a unique phrasing, all in elegance of sound. So, get ready for the trip, make yourself comfortable, and enjoy without moderation this Bel Matjoukann with a title that could not be more justified!
