BIO
After years of reflections, work and experiment, Paul Wacrenier has developed a truly sincere and original sound, based on a melodic, rhythmic and percussive approach of the piano. He has studied deeply and respectfully the musical language, compositions, and the pianistic technique of great masters of jazz such as Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Dollar Brand, Mal Waldron, Randy Weston, Cecyl Tayler, Mc Coy Tyner, but also Andrew Hill and Eric Dolphy. He claims his belonging to a typical jazz tradition of piano, which allows the influence of African music, contemporary music, free jazz and traditional melodies, while staying faithful to the blues and the jazz aesthetics and legacy.
These interests have leaded him to broaden his skills by learning classical percussions and especially vibes, but also the traditional Shona ( Zimbabwe) repertoire on the kalimba and M’bira.
