ACQUAVIVA TRIO + POLAROÏD SONGS @ Pan Piper, Paris – 10/04/2019

This Friday, October 4, 2019, we will attend the first of a series of 5 double concerts over 6 months. The instigators of this project is a group of jazz musicians already recognized on the international jazz scene, Paris Jazz Booking whose motto is: Jazz it Yourself !

Paris Jazz Booking works a lot like a collective (although they do not necessarily claim this name) of jazz musicians who have decided to take their destiny in hand by organizing themselves to perform themselves in concert. The place they chose for their project was quickly decided: it was the Pan Piper.

1^st concert :

POLAROÏD SONGS « MUSICAL AND VISUAL TRAVEL BOOK »

2^nd concert :

ACQUAVIVA TRIO « WEATHER GROOVE »

Winner of the public prize at the 2018 Golden Jazz Trophy, finalist of the 2017 La Défense jazz competition, ACQUAVIVA TRIO proposes a melodic and percussive jazz with pop colors, combining freshness and depth, both in composition and in performance. . Influenced by the lyricism of Michel Petrucciani and the creativity of E.S.T.

Jean-Charles Acquaviva finds inspiration in his Corsican origins and in his evocative nature of images and emotions. The vitality of his compositions flourishes fully in the art of the trio.

With his two accomplices, Bertrand Beruard (double bass) and Antonin Violot (drums), he energetically takes the audience into his joyfully contemplative universe.

Supported by the Studio des Variétés, ACQUAVIVA TRIO will present live his project “Weather Groove“, first album released last January at Alba Jazz Diffusion.
