Simon Chivallon Trio: Personal Songbook
At the head of a deluxe trio, Simon Chivallon —the most lyrical pianist of the new generation— magnifies his love of jazz in the service of song. Enriched on half of the tracks with subtle arrangements for string quartet, his Personal Songbook moves with equal delight from Brassens and Nougaro to Broadway standards, from English pop to bebop, from Billy Strayhorn to bossa nova, revealing a constant freshness of inspiration, a generosity in his playing that is immediately evident, and an absolutely irresistible swing. A talent is born.
