Albert Bover Trio — A Parisian Affair at 38 Riv

“We're lucky to have this magnificent Spanish pianist in Paris, who trained in Barcelona and New York with Barry Haris, Jaki Byard and Fred Hersch.His album Fresh Sound “A Parisian Affair”, with Yoni Zelnik and Philippe Soirat, in constant interaction, both relaxed and intense, is a pure marvel, alternating Albert's beautiful compositions with those of illustrious predecessors (Wayne Shorter, Sam Rivers) and a few standards.This pianist's playing reveals a serious baggage at the service of a beautiful inspiration that always gives coherence to the musical discourse. In his own words, he makes a point of telling a story with each of his solos, first establishing the characters and then developing them. An event not to be missed at 38Riv”.- Bertrand Paulhiac ...

« C’est une chance d'avoir désormais à Paris ce magnifique pianiste espagnol, formé à Barcelone puis New York auprès notamment de Barry Haris, Jaki Byard et Fred Hersch.Son album Fresh Sound « A Parisian Affair », avec Yoni Zelnik et Philippe Soirat, en interaction de tout instant, à la fois décontracté et intense, est une pure merveille, alternant de belles compositions d’Albert avec celles d’illustres prédécesseurs (Wayne Shorter, Sam Rivers) et quelques standards.Le jeu de ce pianiste révèle un sérieux bagage au service d’une belle inspiration qui donne toujours cohérence au discours musical. Il dit lui-même qu’il s’attache à ce que chacun de ses solos raconte une histoire, en campant d’abord les personnages avant de les faire évoluer. Un évènement à ne pas rater au 38Riv »— Bertrand Paulhiac
