THIERRY MAILLARD
BIG BAND
ZAPPA FOREVER
2nd opus by Thierry Maillard big band
For Jean-Luc Caradec "La Terrasse"
“This desire to embrace and inflame music in all its dimensions - from his piano, his composer's table and his conductor's desk - and by further deepening his obsession with orchestral sound, has just found in his new big band adventure, a decisive new translation. […] “Zappa Forever” which offers his music a completely singular dimension which seems to lead him to a startling point of synthesis and crystallization. "
And for Olivier Nuc "Le Figaro"
“Zappa Forever attests to the singularity of this pianist with a pedigree as jazz as classical […] Zappa Forever, sets the tone of this album with virtuoso madness, a thousand leagues from the conservatism of current music. The daring and humor continue over the duration of a double album, a format as unexpected as it is delightful nowadays. "
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
1st big band album
After a long record and stage experience in the field of jazz, where Thierry Maillard has already been able to explore all the different facets of this genre, from solo piano to septet, including the trio of course, and with several orchestral experiences with strings (notably with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra), Thierry Maillard realizes the work of his life, with the creation of this exceptional big band, which synthesizes all his influences and his various musical experiences, in a great melodic, harmonic and rhythmic whirlwind .
