| Jazz, compositionsDirigé par le pianiste et compositeur Tony Tixier, The Poetry Syndicat déploie une exploration sensible des textures sonores, ouvrant des espaces de transe méditative où les mélodies minimalistes se fondent aux grooves envoûtants comme pour suspendre le temps. De cette matière vibrante naît aussi un chant profondément politique : une parole musicale qui cherche à dissiper les ombres, à briser les carcans qui nous séparent, et à exorciser les discriminations par la force subtile d’une poésie collective.Tony TixierTony Tixier est un pianiste et compositeur franco-américain, formé au piano classique avant de se tourner vers le jazz et l’improvisation, développant une identité musicale mêlant écriture et improvisation. Très jeune, il se produit sur de grandes scènes aux côtés d’artistes comme Dee Dee Bridgewater, Marcus Miller ou McCoy Tyner, avant de s’installer à New York et de s’intégrer durablement à la scène jazz internationale. En 2012, il sort Dream Pursuit avec son quartet américain, salué par la critique et nommé “Révélation” par Jazz Magazine.Au-delà du jazz, il collabore avec Andrea Bocelli, Jon Batiste, Usher, Juliette Armanet ou DJ Deep, et officie comme pianiste sur America’s Got Talent et Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Il se produit dans des lieux emblématiques comme le Blue Note NYC, Jazz in Marciac ou l’Apollo Theater, et compose avec son frère Scott pour Janet Cardiff à la Fondation Louis Vuitton. Tony Tixier y développe une musique contemporaine, expressive et accessible, au croisement du jazz, de la pop et de la variété internationale.
