Adrien Chicot - Babyland '2021

Tracks list

A native of Paris, Adrien Chicot learns as a self-taught piano from childhood.
His constancy and his curiosity towards the instrument lead him very early to
the discovery of jazz, for which he discovers a passion. He joined the IACP, a
school run by the Belmondo brothers, which will soon see the birth of a new
generation of great musicians committed to jazz up the dregs (Julien Alour, Samy
Thiebault, Alexandre Freiman, Géraldine Laurent, Jean-Philippe Scali, Maxime
Fougères, to name a few …) Adrien Chicot has since established himself
on the young French jazz scene, becoming the sure reflection of a music borrowed
from the most classic influences (Mc Coy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Ahmad Jamal, Red
Garland etc.) but always attentive and concerned. by the sharp mastery of
current jazz. His music, very instinctive, marked by a sensitive architecture,
hitherto engages his role in the rhythm of several formations, in which his
harmonic poems participate (Samy Thiebault quartet, Julien Alour quintet) He
performs in the prestigious festivals of Marciac, Vienna, Ramatuelle, Sète
etc. but also in the most famous clubs of France, Europe and New York, without
neglecting several tours in Latin America, Africa and Asia … On these
occasions he shared the stage, sometimes even the studio recording, with Lionel
and Stéphane Belmondo, Avishai Cohen, Rick Margitza, Olivier Temime, Simon
Goubert, Seamus Blake, Sophie Alour and many other pioneers of jazz. With his
years of playful practice, he composed in 2014 his first album, All in, which he
recorded in trio with Sylvain Romano and Jean-Pierre Arnaud. His second album,
Playing in the dark, released in 2017. His unique interpretation of a tireless
legacy is, each time, commented by an enchanted and unanimous press. He takes up
the writing for City Walk, the pianist’s new urban album, which is
scheduled for release on November 16, 2018, on the Gaya Music Production label.
