Jazz — Maxime Sanchez, winner of the Thelonious Monk Competition, revisits standards with a unique sensitivity, bringing every note and silence of these timeless masterpieces to life.
Standards are like a spring we return to drink from, again and again. Like every jazz musician, Maxime Sanchez knows the richness of these great tunes, which one must learn to breathe in with every note, right down to their most intimate silences. The stories they tell, the images they project, and the often magical memories of their interpretations by the greatest artists are the ferment of a language that is constantly being shaped. The pianist, whose name appears among the winners of the Thelonious Monk Competition, is aware of the debt he once took on when he opened the door to music and jazz. He knows that the foundations of his musical development rest on these loves, often record-based, and cinematic too. So it is hardly surprising that this great repertoire nourished him to the point that one day he felt the need to celebrate it in trio form, beyond the experiences he has had (François Jeanneau, Magic Malik, Toine Thys…) or the ensembles in which he appears as leader or coleader (Kepler, Flash Pig), a composer devoted to building a collective and establishing himself as a leading personality. Line-up: Maxime Sanchez: piano; Florent Nisse: double bass; Guilhem Flouzat: drums. 38Riv Jazz Club is an intimate venue in the heart of the Marais (38 rue de Rivoli, Paris 4e), dedicated to jazz and improvised music.
