Few drummers assume the role of leader and composer. With rare exceptions, the results often sacrifice the subtleties of melodic and harmonic development, only in favor of asymmetrical measures and complex tempo changes: the trio of French musician Thomas Delor, accompanied by guitarist Simon Martineau and bassist Georges Correia, radically breaks the rule.Thomas Delor has succeeded in making his trio a unique group, with an unusual language, inimitable nuances and creativity that is both subtle and explosive. His compositions, arrangements and interpretations follow a similar and identifiable treatment from the first note, based on the exploration of his instrument which seems to us without limit, transforming it into a delicate mixture of rhythmic melodist and colorist.The trio comes to present its latest album "Silence The 13th" released on Fresh Sound New Talent ("4 stars" by Jazz Magazine, "4 stars" by Jazz Journal (UK), "Elected" by Citizen Jazz, elected "Indispensable" by Paris-Move/Blues Magazine, etc.)."A perfectly mastered, yet lively music, full of twists and turns and interactions, that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end." - Elected " Album Révélation " by Jazz Magazine...

Peu de batteurs assument le rôle de leader et de compositeur. Sauf rares exceptions, les résultats sacrifient souvent les subtilités du développement mélodique et harmonique, uniquement en faveur de mesures asymétriques et de changements de tempo complexes : le trio du musicien français Thomas Delor, accompagné du guitariste Simon Martineau et du contrebassiste Georges Correia, fait radicalement entorse à la règle.Thomas Delor est parvenu à faire de son trio un groupe unique, au langage inhabituel, aux nuances inimitables et à la créativité à la fois subtile et explosive. Ses compositions, ses arrangements et les interprétations suivent un traitement similaire et identifiable dès la première note, basé sur l’exploration de son instrument qui nous parait sans limite, le transformant en un délicat mélange de rythmicien mélodiste coloriste.Le trio vient nous présenter son dernier album "Silence The 13th" sorti sur Fresh Sound New Talent (« 4 étoiles » par Jazz Magazine, « 4 étoiles » par Jazz Journal (UK), « Elu » par Citizen Jazz, élu « Indispensable » par Paris-Move/Blues Magazine, etc.).« Une musique parfaitement maitrisée, mais vivante, pleine de rebondissements et d’interactions, qui tient en haleine jusqu’au bout. » - Elu « Album Révélation » Jazz Magazine
