Fabien Mary

Jazz concert

Accomplished and sure instrumentalist, soloist with long fluid and airy lines, of an undeniable elegance and a perfectly mastered lyricism, Fabien Mary also develops talents of arranger with a precise and captivating pen.

Fabien Mary updates a certain conception of jazz orchestration, the ones in which arrangers like Benny Golson, Jimmy Heath, Thad Jones, Gigi Gryce, Bill Holman or Teddy Charles excelled in the heart of the 1950s, combining fluidity of melodic lines, elegance of counterpoint and harmonic sophistication, but never at the expense of swing.
