Glad to catch live performance of Shai Maestro Quartet at La Renaissance Theatre + Musique in Lyon, France before the next day concert in Barcelona, Spain. The mastery of the maestro, an explosion of pleasure, play and shared happiness, listening to elegant and unique music. A lover of Bach and Oscar Peterson, the young pianist Shai Maestro is one of the figureheads of the new generation of prodigies who put their solid technique and great classical culture at the service of today's jazz. His name predestined him; He first shone in the renowned trio of his Israeli compatriot, bassist Avishaï Cohen, before forming his own trio ten years ago with bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Ofri Nehemya. His first three albums contributed to his popularity. We find there each time a game imbued with a unique lyricism where the emotional eloquence is exceptional. Introspective, impressionistic and sometimes shrouded in a certain nostalgia, his very organic music takes its time by offering us long and elegant developments, the dynamics of which are driven by the incredible fluidity of his playing. Sensitive and always creative, Shai Maestro expands its formation in 2019 by inviting the American trumpeter Philip Dizack. Having become a quartet, the mastery of this new group shines under the paw of Manfred Eicher (ECM) who produces, in 2021, the dazzling album Human. Romantic and contemplative melodies, a bewitching minimalism with its repetitive figures, an exacerbated lyricism, rhythmic prowess, a heartbreaking breath and a breathtaking sound universe that take on their full dimension in concert! @SamuelABudiono #SamuelABudiono #Music #Architecture #MusicArchitecture @TheatreLaRenaissance #Jazz #Live #Concert #Lyon #France (at Théâtre la Renaissance) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj7Uf9EoSmy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
