ALAIN PIERRE TREE-HO!

Alain Pierre has always liked acoustic guitars, especially nylon strings, but also the twelve-string guitar (aka “folk” guitar). In his personal approach to jazz, he uses classical guitar techniques on the twelve steel strings, which is definitely one of the key features of his style. No wonder that Alain is particularly fond of the luxuriant acoustic jazz of the 70s, best represented, among others, by the ECM label. His compositions and playing arise from these influences. Alain’s son, Antoine, fell into his father’s magic jazz cauldron and grew up as a fan of jazz music of all times. His musical path has led him so far through a large part of Europe and to New York City, playing with key jazz artists. He recently received the Sabam Jazz Award for young talents. Felix Zurstrassen is the third member of the trio, and has already served as partner for Antoine in various projects. He is a bassist with astonishing musical capabilities, precise and always appropriate. His solid playing is very much in demand, and this rich experience enables him to fit accurately into any lineup. The band has shed new light on Alain Pierre’s compositions, his music is played with verve, power, and contrasts.
