His guitars invite you to discover the music of a universal elsewhere and connect to our Western musical heritage in astonishing and unexpected ways. DISTANCES is the album that announces with groove and sensitivity that artistic maturity has arrived. From nylon to steel-string, through slide and ukulele, Dujardin reveals a universe that encompasses musical meetings that surprise, as in the song Ya Bai Miriam with the Palestinian a capella group El-Funoun.

  • Sal La Rocca Bio GAM 2021
    Sal La Rocca – bass Initially briefly interested in rock guitar playing, Salvatore La Rocca discovered jazz at age 23, in the early 80's, switched to double bass and taught himself the jazz idiom, taking Paul Chambers as a model. At first, La Rocca was regularly seen accompanying Jacques PELZER. Establishing himself as a bass player, a position rather empty in those years in the Liège area, he played with the local musicians: Robert Jeanne, Robert Grahame, Steve Houben, Pierre Vaiana... In the mid-80s, PELZER introduced him to John Eardley, then Michel Graillier, Leo Mitchell and Steve Grossman who hired him in 1987 for a tour in the surrounding countries. In 1988, he was hired by Steve Houben to play a 6-week engagement at the Singapore jazz club, and toured Germany with guitarist John Thomas' quartet. In 1990, he played at the Gouvy Jazz Festival with Sal Nistico, Jacques Pelzer, and Mal Waldron. In 1991, Sal was a member of vocalist Raffaela Renzulli's Ensemble, featuring Charlie Mariano. In 1993, he was with Steve Houben's quartet at the Lafayette International Festival. It was with this quartet that he recorded a first CD. In 1994, tours with Pierre Vaiana, in quartet with Salvatore Bonafede, and Dré Pallemaerts as well as with Mike Del Ferro's trio with Hans Van Oosterhout and Harold Land as a guest. He also performed the Liège festival with a quartet featuring saxophonist Dave Turner. The show was recorded by Belgian television. In the mid-90s, Master drummer Bruno Castellucci, taking La Rocca under his wing, began hiring him for several projects, and introducing him to many.

  • Enrico Pieranunzi Est Probablement L'un Des Pianistes Européens Les Plus Originaux Et Les Plus Passionnants
    EEnnrriiccoo PPiieerraannuunnzzii Enrico Pieranunzi est probablement l'un des pianistes européens les plus originaux et les plus passionnants. Maîtrisant parfaitement toute l'histoire du piano jazz avec une préférence pour Bud Powell, Paul Bley et surtout Bill Evans, il a aussi une connaissance intime du répertoire romantico-impressioniste européen: de Liszt à Ravel, de Chopin à Rachmaninov... Formules de concerts : - PIANO SOLO - DUO avec Eric Le Lann - DUO avec Rick Margitza - DUO avec Simona Severini (vocal) - TRIO avec André Ceccarelli et Diego Imbert - GRANDE FORMATION avec le BRUSSELS JAZZ ORCHESTRA. KARAVANE Enriico Piieranunzii Enrico Pieranunzi est reconnu comme l’un des meilleurs pianistes du monde. Il poursuit depuis longtemps une double carrière, concertiste classique d’une part, pianiste de jazz et compositeur d’autre part. Influencé par Charlie Parker, Claude Debussy et la musique populaire romaine, Pieranunzi fait partie – avec Keith Jarrett et Bill Evans - des musiciens qui ont repoussé les limites du piano. Avec plus de 70 enregistrements à son actif il s’est constamment produit dans les festi- vals de jazz les plus réputés (de Montréal à Copenhague, de Berlin à Madrid, de Tokyo et Rio de Janeiro à Pekin) et a travaillé avec les grands du jazz – en concert ou en stu- dio - multipliant les collaborations: Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Paul Motian, Charlie Haden Chris Potter, Marc Johnson, Joey Baron, Scott Colley, Antonio Sanchez. Il gagne plusieurs fois le prix « Top Jazz » du meilleur musicien italien, attribué par la revue Musica Jazz (1989, 2003, 2008, 2014) et remporte le Django d’Or du meilleur musi- cien européen en 1997.
