The longtime friends have an uncommon communion that undeniably radiates from the stage and from their two albums together. Both internationally renowned musicians, Jeff Denson (USA) and Romain Pilon (France) met 20 years ago while studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston. At the time, they played countless jam sessions together, having in common the taste for adventure and the love of jazz without preconceived ideas. Since then, they have each on their side of the Atlantic, led brilliant careers by recording numerous records as a leader and collaborating with some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world including Lee Konitz, Joe Lovano, Ben Wendel, Mike Stern, Jeff Ballard, Brian Blade and many more. After a remarkable first album composed together, and around thirty cities in the USA, and seven European countries, they come to present their new opus, "Finding Light." The trio is completed the fantastic drumming of Jonathan Pinson. Jonathan is one of the most highly sought after drummers of his generation and he has performed and toured with notable artists such as Ambrose Akinmusire, John Clayton, Dave Liebman, Ed Simon, Eric Reed, Kamasi Washington, Marquis Hill, Gilad Hekselman and Joey Alexander, to name a few. The music of this trio, interactive and generous, reflects the pleasure these musicians have in playing together.
