A legend of world jazz comes to Szczecin for the first time!
Jacky Terrasson, an outstanding pianist and composer and star of the legendary Blue Note Records label, will showcase his extraordinary skills during an exclusive concert at Szczecin Jazz. This will be the only opportunity to hear him live in Poland!
Terrasson is an artist of exceptional musical sensitivity, who seamlessly combines jazz tradition with a modern sound. Born in Berlin, he grew up in Paris, where he began his musical education at the age of five. After completing his education in France, he went on to study at the Berklee College of Music, one of the most prestigious music colleges in the United States. In 1993, he won the most coveted award in the jazz world, the Thelonious Monk Award, which paved the way for an international career.
The pianist went on to collaborate with legendary vocalist Betty Carter, moved to New York, and signed with Blue Note Records. The New York Times included him in its prestigious ‘30 under 30’ list, singling him out as one of the artists likely to shape American culture in the years to come.
His prolific career includes collaborations with musical giants such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dianne Reeves, Jimmy Scott, Charles Aznavour, Ry Cooder, and many others. His style is characterised by a unique minimalist approach to jazz, full of emotion and finesse.
During the concert in Szczecin, Jacky Terrasson will perform with his trio, presenting material from his latest album, Moving On. This is a unique opportunity to experience the virtuosity and unmistakable energy of one of the most important jazz pianists of our time!
