Seen as a new talent on the french jazz scene, Simon Chivallon comes out with his first album, Light Blue, playing with a trio. From Monk to the Beatles, Gabriel Fauré to George Brassens, the pianist embraces his love of melody and unveils a series of compositions that don't lack character. Like a breath of fresh, Light Blue shines with feel and lyricism of an artist for whom jazz is an evidence.

★★★★
"A piano trio album bursting with excitement - classic melodies mixed with new ones, improvisatory dexterity and a pianist truly playing 'in the moment' "

—Jazz Journal International


"Dieser Jazz ist nicht nur reiner Jazz, seine Einflüsse werden geschickt und leichtgängig ergänzt um solche aus der Popmusik und der Klassik, letztlich zusammengefügt zu einem Ganzen, voller schöner Stimmungen und hohem lyrisch betonten Unterhaltungswert."

—Musik an sich
