JACKY TERRASSON TRIO

Jacky Terrasson – piano
Burniss Travis – bass
Jeremy Dutton – drums

Pianist Jacky Terrasson makes a rare New York appearance from his base in Paris leading an exciting trio. For over three decades, Jacky Terrasson has been subtly reimagining the possibilities of the piano trio and even the sound and role of the piano itself within that context to great acclaim. Unorthodox approaches to standards, surprising choices of repertoire, and bracing, dramatic solos are some of the hallmarks of his celebrated playing. London Jazz News reports, “Terrasson has presence and theatricality, and his performance(s) brim with good ideas,” while JazzTimes reports, “There’s excitement and ingenuity embedded throughout (his) wholly original, shrewdly executed arrangements.” Terrasson spent important formative time early in his career alongside two giants in Betty Carter and Eddie Harris. Today, Terrasson shares those invaluable lessons with the next generation. His trio features the outstanding tandem of bassist Burniss Travis and drummer Jeremy Dutton.
