Pierre Marcus - Pyrodance (JAZZ FAMILY 2018)


The first album with his own quartet, 'Long Wait,' was released in 2015. He participated in several competitions where he won multiple awards. His thirst for meetings makes him leave Nice for Paris where he plays with many musicians (Eric Legnini, Vincent Bourgeyx, Pierre Bertrand ...). 

Pierre Marcus returns with his quartet (Baptiste Herbin / alto sax and soprano, Fred Perreard / piano, Thomas Delor / drums and Irving Acao as guest on sax tenor). There is a lot of love and friendship in 'Pyrodance'. The title is a wink to a pianist who has marked a lot: Thelonious Monk. Other compositions were written for his nieces, his companion, a friend disappeared ... One title was not composed by Pierre Marcus, it is '317 East 32 NB Street' signed Lennie Tristano. 

An inspired and generous album, like this discreet double bass player. B.JPierre Marcus approached the music with the electric bass playing reggae, funk and rock before really getting interested in jazz. He then enters the Conservatoire of Nice to study this music and then buys his first double bass. He starts playing with different musicians and participates in several recordings (6 albums between 2012 and 2016).
