Nicolas Parent Trio

Using original compositions of guitarist Nicolas Parent as their artistic outlet, these three musicians will draw you in their universe: a world of subtleties and sincerity. The project originated from the meeting of artists who shared common musical aesthetic visions and values. With a wealth of combined experiences and itineraries, they navigate from Jazz to all Improvised Music, and show no hesitation when it comes to borrowing elements from Folk, Afro, or Blues music. The heart and core of their music is “emotion”, the essence of their long personal musical quest. It all started with Nicolas Parent writing his own compositions, and his deciding to put together this original and daring trio, along with getting support from Paris’ Young Talents. Meeting with percussionist Guillaume Arbonville and double bass player Kentaro Suzuki created the band’s alchemy. 2010, selected for the final of the Jazz Festival at St-Germain-des-Prés (in Paris, France). They were awarded a special honour from the jury for “Composition Originality”. The trio’s osmosis is perfect !
