"Oscar Peterson, swing and virtuosity"

  A unique opportunity to learn the history of jazz, blues, and jazz-derived music from one of the greats of French piano, director of the Orchestre National de Jazz from 1987 to 1989.

The Jazz Concert Maasterklass of Antoine Hervé, internationally renowned pianist and conductor of the Orchestre National de Jazz, have now earned a solid reputation for excellence throughout France and the French overseas territories.

This is an entertaining and humorous introduction to jazz for enthusiasts or those simply interested in discovering it.

Oscar Peterson, Swing and Virtuosity :

Oscar Peterson was a star early on, at a time when jazz had few.

A direct heir to Art Tatum in his virtuosity and phrasing, he also made his mark with the first boppers: Gillespie and even Parker.

But his fundamental attachment to the blues, that irresistibly danceable pulse, has never left him, whether he's heard as a leader or as a modest accompanist who always knows how to listen to the style of those he supports and propels: Ella Fitzgerald, Armstrong, or Coleman Hawkins...

PRESS EXCERPTS

Jean-François Zygel's opinion in the "La Terrasse" Focus:

"Antoine is not only a jazz pianist; I've heard him play Rachmaninoff concertos admirably... He has a dual culture, like Keith Jarrett. He taught me a lot, particularly through his great sense of rhythm but also through his awareness of time. He has a real inner energy, which allows him to master the moment of improvisation very well. His rapport with the audience is truly exceptional..."

"Guaranteed endorphin rush!" - Femme Actuelle

"Of course, he's one of the greatest pianists of the moment. But he also plays the role of "teacher," that not-so-common, if not rare, instrument that allows the miracle to occur between an art—or a science—and the public." - Citizen Jazz

"Antoine Hervé accomplishes a feat here (...) by vividly blending the historical reality of the musicians he illustrates with the updating of the sometimes complex musical elements they employ, which he manages to illuminate in an almost natural and always playful way." - Pianiste Magazine "
