For the first time in a career full of high-level collaborations, French guitarist Romain Pilon has devoted an entire album to jazz standards. Exhuming rare tunes from the Great American Songbook and jazz gems composed by Herbie Hancock, Steve Swallow, Thelonious Monk or Miles Davis, he signs a trio record accompanied by band mate bassist Yoni Zelnik along with drums master, Jeff Ballard (from The Brad Mehldau Trio): “Falling Grace”.

Press reviews



"De chaque note surgit une grâce intemporelle"
—Jazz Magazine · CHOC

"Une folle élégance dans ce jeu économe de guitare. Romain Pilon distille les notes quand elles sont nécessaires. Il les place là où il faut, comme il faut, et ses deux camarades, Yoni Zelnik et Jeff Ballard, sont juste parfaits pour l'accompagner dans cette épure"
—Alex Dutilh, France Musique.

"Un trio d'une élégance rare"
—TSF Jazz · Disque du Jour

"La finesse et l’autorité dont fait preuve Romain Pilon dans ses appropriations est admirable"
—Télérama

"Ici on joue ensemble, l’écoute est globale sans hiérarchie et en interaction, c’est une leçon par les temps qui courent"
—Culture Jazz

"Cet album est classe, très classe"
—Le Soir
