Album Notes

Jacy Desmond is a French-New Zealander pianist, composer and singer .
Jazz and classical being his first musical loves, Jacy has nevertheless sought to discover and incorporate into his music very different styles - Latino, Middle Eastern, Blues,...
In concert (solo or with fellow musicians) he offers us jazz standards (vocals and / or instrumental) compositions that blend jazz and classical styles (one might call this Jazzical) and improvisations on pieces by Bach, Chopin and Mendelssohn.

Two reviews of the album:
"Jacy Desmond is unique. He has established a new genre. Call it 'Jazzical': a union of jazz and classical music. Desmond's originals contain the 'parfum' of the styles of composers he has assimilated : here the merest whiff of Debussy, there the scent of Messiaen, and now and again the faint odor of Chopin or Brahms creeps into his creative consciousness. He is a genius."
LAWRENCE JENKINS, musicologist and writer

"Here is great creative talent with an original expression that will soon be heard, appreciated."
RUSSEL GARCIA, composer-arranger for Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong Ella Fitzgerald...
