Simon Chivallon
A new talent in French jazz, Simon Chivallon is one of the most talented pianists of his generation. Moving with equal happiness from Thelonious Monk to the Beatles, from Gabriel Fauré to Georges Brassens, he embraces his love of melody through a repertoire that draws its material from different sources and from which, inspired by the example of Brad Mehldau, he makes his improvisational honey.

With a freshness of rare inspiration, this gifted pianist brilliantly imposes his feeling and his lyricism, affirming a personality for whom jazz speaks of evidence.
