Romain Pilon Jeff Denson Trio at the Sunside
Both renowned instrumentalists, Jeff Denson (Usa) and Romain Pilon (Fr) met 20 years ago at Berklee College Of Music. At the time, they were jamming together, sharing a taste for adventure and a love of jazz without preconceived ideas. Since then, they’ve each had brilliant careers on their own side of the Atlantic, recording numerous albums as leaders and collaborating with some of the world’s greatest jazz musicians: Lee Konitz, Joe Lovano, Ben Wendel, Mike Stern, Jeff Ballard, Brian Blade, Chris Potter… After a remarkable first album written together and a dozen tours of the USA, they’re back to present their new opus, ‘Finding Light’. The trio is joined on drums by the fantastic Fred Pasqua: A true stylistic jack-of-all-trades, he has played alongside Nelson Veras, Walter Smith, Logan Richardson and others. The music of this trio, interactive and generous, reflects the pleasure these musicians have in playing together. You’ll find influences ranging from Led Zeppelin and Wayne Shorter to Miles Davis, Hendrix and Satie… Tickets
