Alexandre Herer “Nunataq” (FR)
Saturday, April 26, 8 p.m. at Philly Joe's Jazz Club
Having spent over ten years experimenting with his favorite instrument, the Fender Rhodes, Alexandre Herer comes back with a new project which, for being introspective, is nonetheless open and nourished by his many experiences. From his collaborations with musicians rich of a powerful artistic universe such as Magic Malik, Jozef Dumoulin, Marc Ducret, Stéphane Payen, Julien Pontvianne and Olivier Laisney, Alexandre Herer gradually became familiar with many musical concepts, written repertoires and improvisation techniques. For this project entitled “Nunataq”, Alexandre Herer offers a music that is deliberately open, airy and cold, partly inspired by the vast iced stretches (such as Greenland), places that remain the witnesses of a past climate threatened by today’s humanity.
Alexandre Herer is a pianist and keyboardist. After studying classical piano and jazz at the Paris Conservatory, he devoted himself to piano, composition, and the development of his projects. For more than ten years, he has been honing his sound and personality, often on the Fender Rhodes. His music, inspired by jazz, improvised music and contemporary music, is meant to be contemplative, between freedom and complexity.
Gaël Petrina is a bass player and composer with a unique cultural background, having spent time in Quito, LA, London and Paris. Heavily rooted in jazz and improvised music, Gaël can also be heard blending a pallet of musical styles tastefully: jazz, rock, hip hop, electronica, classical and latin are meticulously executed allowing Gaël to perform with some of the top international artists on the scene today.
Pierre Mangeard has been settled in Paris since 2008, collaborating with many musicians and bringing his own personal touch. He has become an outstanding performer and released his EP "LE-ME-DOU-AI", a voice, drums and humor project in the image of his unprecedented journey and his exuberant nature.
