Igor Gehenot Quintet • Pure Jazz Energy
Igor Gehenot (p) ; Jean-Paul Estievenart (tp) ; Steven Delanoye (sx) ; Sal La Rocca (b) ; Umberto Odone (dr)
From a very young age, the raw talent and extraordinary instinct of Igor Gehenot for the blue language of jazz propelled him into the spotlight.
At just 23, he released his debut album, which earned him the recognition of the European press and launched a career that quickly took him to clubs and festivals all over the world.
With a spontaneous style and a keen lyrical sense, he has collaborated with leading musicians and now surrounds himself with some of the finest jazzmen in the country, in the classic yet always joyful — and devilishly effective — quintet format: trumpet, tenor sax, and rhythm section.
Drawing from both famous and lesser-known pieces of the great hard-bop repertoire and from timeless standards, these five musicians guarantee a successful evening in the purest spirit of our jazz club — a generous and delicious music.
