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.
