JEAN-SEBASTIEN SIMONOVIEZ > Vents et marées (La Buissone/Harmonia Mundi). Simonoviez (p). It gets a nerve to come in the panorama of hexagonal jazz pianist with for only breviary a solo album. It is daring to rely on two or three tracks of the Coltranian pandemonium. Bet won, all with delicacy, with a bag assumed of extreme	sensibility. We think of braided fringes by Chopin, Rachmaninov or Jarret pre-trio. Tacha exhales romanticism of pearled notes. Elsewhere, some chromatics illustrates a well being at most the languor. Left that in My favorite things, if thie newcomer goes back to sense, to the demand of a typical Coltranian reading, he slows down the rhythm as for letting the fragrance come out better.	A will to tone down contrasts, to play on the hue (touch, choice of left hand chords) which, on Naima, brings him to dance in balance on the fidelity edge of the compositor. Good player, Jean Sébastien S. Well done and well payed also Gerard de Haro, Studio La Buissonne's boss, -quality security for sound recording- to dare jumping ahead to create a label. The past with J-F Jenny-Clark, the future with Simonoviez : good work for a double premiere.

JEAN-SEBASTIEN SIMONOVIEZ,

A first album solo piano stamped with a beautiful serenity, magnified by the sound and the Steinway recording, which are absolutely exceptional. The repertoire consists of original pieces and others praising the choice of this pianist with subtle touch: Duck Ellington, to whom he dedicates the album’s opening, John Coltrane (My favorite things- adopted by Coltrane but issued of The Sound of Music-, Naima and Lonnie’s Lament), Bernard Hermann, from which he recreates The Bedroom, beautiful composition unrecognized taken out from Truffaut’s movie, Farenheit 451, from premonitory novel of Ray Bradbury, and of course Bill Evans, from who he borrows I wish I knew. A good album finally enough sentimental but without any sentimentality, provided with a very bewitching poetry.
