Gilles BLANDIN Trio
“These 3 musicians will take you to the land of Blues and Boogie, but also to the lands of the Mainstream (Erroll Garner), with the pleasure of playing that so characterises this music.” Gilles Blandin Fascinated by jazz and the piano since childhood, Gilles Blandin began his career in Paris, where he took invaluable advice from masters such as Claude Bolling and Aaron Bridgers (himself a pupil of Art Tatum and a close friend of Duke Ellington). In 1988, he moved to Brittany, his native region, where he became one of the ambassadors of Jazz Swing, and at the same time the representative of Blues and Boogie-Woogie as a French specialist in the genre. Whether playing solo or in a small group, his vitality, the solidity of his piano playing, the great inspiration of his personal compositions and the eclecticism of his repertoire (illustrated by five albums recorded under his name), are a guarantee of success at his concerts. Guillaume Nouaux One of the leading drummers on the international jazz scene, Guillaume Nouaux has performed at some of Europe’s top jazz venues and festivals, and regularly tours the world.

Acclaimed by the international press, his recent albums as a leader have received critical acclaim throughout Europe, the United States, Russia, Japan and as far afield as Australia. Also a teacher and author of reference works on jazz drums, he is now unanimously recognised by his peers and the press as one of Europe’s leading specialists in the genre.
