Concord Jazz proudly announces the release of pianist Jacky Terrasson’s new album Push, available April 27, 2010. The album features a new working trio that includes recent Thelonious Monk Competition winner Ben Williams on bass, Jamire Williams on drums and a handful of special guests. Push, Terrasson’s 11th overall album and Concord Jazz debut, moves forward with a program of invigorating new repertoire and standards that infuse the familiar with the unlikely, including nods to Michael Jackson.
Ever since pianist extraordinaire Jacky Terrasson burst upon the jazz scene in 1993 by winning the Thelonious Monk Piano Competition, he has consistently recorded richly refined and remarkably free-spirited music. After delivering 10 CDs for Blue Note Records, Terrasson’s Concord Jazz debut Push is an 11-track gem of dynamic pianism that opens up a new door onto his creative technique and ingenuity.
To Terrasson, Push represents “the beginning of something new even though it’s tied to everything I’ve done before. There are a lot more of my own compositions—more than ever—and it’s like the introduction to a new stage in my musical life.”
Après 3 ans d’absence discographique depuis son magnifique album solo
Mirror, ("témoignage de son irruption dans l'univers cadenassé de ces rares pianistes (Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Ahmad Jamal) dont on prétend qu'ils sont des monstres du subtilité" LIBERATION), le pianiste franco-américain nous revient. Il repasse enfin l’Atlantique chargé d’un album plus personnel que jamais Push.
La nouvelle production de Jacky Terrasson, est le fruit de la collaboration d'un trio inédit et exceptionnel composé du bassiste Ben Williams (récent lauréat du Concours Thelonious Monk) et du fantastique batteur Jamire Williams, avec le renfort d'une poignée d'invités prestigieux. Push, onzième album du pianiste et premier chez Concord Jazz, repousse les limites de son art, avec des compositions personnelles sémillantes plus "punchy" que jamais et ourlées de trois standards familiers et réinventés
