Carte blanche à Maxime Sanchez, Trio standards live au 38Riv Jazz Club

Jazz — Maxime Sanchez, winner of the Thelonious Monk Competition, revisits standards with unique sensitivity, making every note and silence of these timeless masterpieces vibrate.

Standards, like a spring from which we drink, again and again. Like any jazz musician, Maxime Sanchez knows the richness of these "great airs" that must be learned to breathe fully, even in their most intimate silences.

The stories they tell, the images they project, and the often magical memories of their performance by the most illustrious are the ferments of a language whose molding is constant.

The pianist, who has inscribed his name in the annals of the Thelonious Monk Competition, is aware of the debt he once incurred by opening the door to music and jazz.

He knows that the foundations of his musical construction rest on these loves, often discographical, cinematographical too.

So it is hardly surprising that this "great repertoire" has nourished him to the point that he feels compelled one day to celebrate it in trio, beyond the experiences he has had (François Jeanneau, Magic Malik, Toine Thys…) or the formations in which he appears, as leader or co-leader (Kepler, Flash Pig), a composer committed to the development of a collective and who is asserting himself as a leading personality.

Line-up: Maxime Sanchez: piano; Florent Nisse: upright bass; Guilhem Flouzat: drums. The 38Riv Jazz Club is an intimate venue in the heart of the Marais (38 rue de Rivoli, Paris 4th), dedicated to jazz and improvised music.
