| Jazz, creation“After nearly ten years with my quartet (Carl-Henri Morisset, Thomas Bramerie, and Elie Martin Charrière), I want to give my musical universe a new lease on life. I want to introduce electro elements, particularly with Gala and Titouan, to create a unique and daring fusion. I see this project as a real sound laboratory, a space for experimentation where I can explore new musical textures while preserving the essence of jazz. I can't wait to collaborate with artists who are curious and open to this adventure!"Pierrick Pédron discovered jazz at the age of 16 and took his first professional steps alongside Magic Malik, then moved to New York, where he recorded his first album, Cherokee (2001). Selected by Selmer to design the Alto Référence saxophone, he then founded his own quartet and collaborated with the Belmondo brothers.His albums “Classical Faces” and “Deep in a Dream” established his name among the great voices of the French alto saxophone. Curious and adventurous, he then embarked on a series of daring projects: a tribute to Thelonious Monk with Kubic's Monk, a reinterpretation of The Cure with Kubic's Cure, and an inventive jazz fusion with And The.In 2017, he formed an acoustic quartet with Carl-Henri Morisset, Thomas Bramerie, and Greg Hutchinson, before performing at the Philharmonie de Paris in 2019 and forging strong ties with the Japanese scene.In 2021, he celebrated his 50th anniversary with the double album Fifty/Fifty, recorded between Paris and New York. That same year, he was named Artist of the Year at the Victoires du Jazz 2021 awards.His next album, “Pédron/Rubalcaba,” released in 2023, marks a summit meeting with Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba. In this art of duets and mirroring, Pierrick and Gonzalo challenge each other, provoke each other, size each other up, enjoy surprising each other, and seek to surpass themselves with obvious mastery, revisiting the great standards of the 20th century. A true high-flying dialogue, the album has been unanimously praised by critics: CHOC! Jazz Magazine, TTTT Télérama, MUST TSF Jazz, Indispensable Jazz News, Élu! Citizen Jazz and Album of the Year at the Victoires du Jazz 2023.Today, Pierrick Pédron continues his exploration of sound, ready for new musical adventures, and it is 38Riv that he has chosen as his testing ground, much to our delight!Photo credit © Jean Baptiste Millot ...

| Jazz, création“Après près de dix ans passés au sein de mon quartette (Carl-Henri Morisset, Thomas Bramerie et Elie Martin Charrière), je souhaite donner une nouvelle impulsion à mon univers musical. J’ai envie d’introduire des éléments électro, notamment avec Gala et Titouan, afin de créer une fusion singulière et audacieuse. Je vois ce projet comme un véritable laboratoire sonore, un espace d’expérimentation où explorer de nouvelles textures musicales tout en préservant l’essence du jazz. Hâte de collaborer avec des artistes curieux et ouverts à cette aventure !”Pierrick Pédron découvre le jazz à 16 ans et fait ses premiers pas professionnels aux côtés de Magic Malik, puis s’installe à New York, où il enregistre son premier album, “Cherokee” (2001). Sélectionné par Selmer pour concevoir le saxophone Alto Référence, il fonde ensuite son propre quartet et collabore avec les frères Belmondo.Ses albums “Classical Faces” et “Deep in a Dream” imposent son nom parmi les grandes voix du saxophone alto français. Curieux et aventureux, il multiplie ensuite les projets audacieux : hommage à Thelonious Monk avec Kubic’s Monk, relecture de The Cure avec Kubic’s Cure, ou encore fusion jazz inventive avec And The.En 2017, il forme un quartet acoustique avec Carl-Henri Morisset, Thomas Bramerie et Greg Hutchinson, avant de se produire à la Philharmonie de Paris en 2019 et de tisser des liens forts avec la scène japonaise.En 2021, il célèbre ses 50 ans avec le double album “Fifty/Fifty”, enregistré entre Paris et New York. Cette même année, il est sacré Artiste de l’année aux Victoires du Jazz 2021.Son album suivant, “Pédron / Rubalcaba” paru en 2023, marque une rencontre au sommet avec le pianiste cubain Gonzalo Rubalcaba. Dans cet art du duo et du miroir, Pierrick et Gonzalo s’interpellent, se provoquent, se jaugent, s’amusent à se surprendre et cherchent à se surpasser, avec une maestria évidente, en revisitant de grands standards du XXᵉ siècle. Véritable dialogue de haute voltige, l’album est unanimement salué par la critique : CHOC! Jazz Magazine, TTTT Télérama, MUST TSF Jazz, Indispensable Jazz News, Élu! Citizen Jazz et Album de l’année aux Victoires du Jazz 2023.Aujourd’hui, Pierrick Pédron poursuit son exploration sonore, prêt à de nouvelles aventures musicales, et c’est le 38Riv qu’il a choisi comme terrain d’expérimentation, pour notre plus grand bonheur !Crédit photo © Jean Baptiste Millot
