Baptiste Trotignon « Art is Simple »

Baptiste Trotignon, a pianist who trained in the classical tradition before anchoring himself in jazz, has forged a musical language where swing, modern improvisation and a taste for carefully worked forms intersect. He is recognized for a clear pulse, highly articulated phrasing and a harmonic approach that blends European heritage with the culture of contemporary jazz. His career has taken him from solo performances to larger formats—trios, duos and projects close to chamber music—without compartmentalizing standards, original compositions and reinterpretations of other repertoires.

With Art is Simple, he continues this way of telling music through the clarity of line and the lucidity of musical discourse. Expect a program that weaves his own themes with borrowed pieces, smooth transitions and a dynamic that allows improvisation to breathe. His collaborations with Stefano Di Battista and Tom Harrell testify to an attentive listening and a consistently alert sense of dialogue.

On 6 May 2026 at the Sunset Sunside in Paris, Baptiste Trotignon presents Art is Simple.
