The Denise Mangiardi Quartet brings together four musicians with singular backgrounds, bound together by the same high artistic standards. Denise Mangiardi's voice and piano are both sober and expressive. Trained in jazz, classical music and musical theater, she has developed her own style, nourished by complex textures and fine interpretation. Her voice, by turns intimate and ample, dialogues with the piano in an organic complicity. At his side, saxophonist Robby Marshall deploys a fluid, inventive and sensitive style. A versatile musician, his improvisations are constantly in search of a balance between structure and freedom, melody and raw breath. On drums, Jeff Boudreaux adds a solid, nuanced rhythmic dimension. With his long experience on the international scene, he alternates precision, energy and flexibility, contributing to the quartet's dynamic identity. The bass, whose identity has yet to be confirmed, completes the ensemble with its anchored, mobile playing, guaranteeing the group's harmonic foundation and cohesive sound. Each with his or her own distinctive personality, they write a common language and give life to a jazz full of spontaneity... and talent!...

Porté par une esthétique raffinée et une grande liberté d’interprétation, le Denise Mangiardi Quartet réunit quatre musiciens aux parcours singuliers, liés par une même exigence artistique. A la voix et au piano, Denise Mangiardi, une présence à la fois sobre et expressive. Formée au jazz, à la musique classique et au théâtre musical, elle développe une écriture personnelle, nourrie de textures complexes et d’une grande finesse d’interprétation. Sa voix, tour à tour intimiste et ample, dialogue avec le piano dans une complicité organique. À ses côtés, le saxophoniste Robby Marshall déploie un jeu fluide, inventif et chargé de sensibilité. Musicien polyvalent, il inscrit ses improvisations dans une recherche constante d’équilibre entre structure et liberté, mélodie et souffle brut. À la batterie, Jeff Boudreaux apporte une dimension rythmique solide et nuancée. Fort d’une longue expérience sur les scènes internationales, il alterne précision, énergie et souplesse, contribuant à l’identité dynamique du quartet. La basse, dont l’identité reste à confirmer, complétera l’ensemble avec un jeu ancré et mobile, garantissant l’assise harmonique et la cohésion sonore du groupe. Chacun avec sa personnalité si différente, ils écrivent un langage commun et donnent vie a un jazz plein de spontanéité… et de talent !
