Carte blanche à Maxime Sanchez, Trio standards live au 38Riv Jazz Club

Jazz — Maxime Sanchez, winner of the Thelonious Monk Competition, revisits standards with a unique sensibility, making every note and silence of these timeless masterpieces resonate.

Standards, like a wellspring from which one drinks, again and again. Like every jazz musician, Maxime Sanchez knows the richness of these “great tunes” that must be learned to breathe in full notes, right down to their most intimate silences. The stories they tell, the images they project, and the often magical memories of their interpretation by the most illustrious artists are the ferments of a language whose shaping is permanent. The pianist, who has inscribed his name on the list of winners of the Thelonious Monk Competition, is aware of the debt he once incurred by pushing open the door to music and jazz. He knows that the foundations of his musical construction rest on these loves, often discographical, and cinematographic too. It is therefore hardly surprising that this “great repertoire” nourished him to the point where he one day felt the need to celebrate it in a trio, beyond his own experiences (François Jeanneau, Magic Malik, Toine Thys…) or the formations in which he performs, as leader or co-leader (Kepler, Flash Pig), a composer dedicated to the elaboration of a collective and who stands out as a leading personality.

Line-up: Maxime Sanchez: piano; Florent Nisse: double bass; Guilhem Flouzat: drums

The 38Riv Jazz Club is an intimate venue in the heart of the Marais (38 rue de Rivoli, Paris 4e), dedicated to jazz and improvised music.
