Personnel

Album Description

French pianist and composer Jef Giansily crafts a singular blend of modern jazz, where intricate rhythmic structures and lyrical introspection converge. A Paris native and longtime Istanbul resident, Giansily draws from the modal traditions of the 1960s, while forging a contemporary, personal sound. His 2024 quintet album Insight exemplifies this approach, weaving complex grooves, shifting meters, and emotive melodies into a cohesive narrative. Collaborating with musicians like Hermon Mehari, Apostolos Sideris, Gautier Garrigue, Pierre Bernier or Sarp Maden, Kağan Yıldız, Ferit Odman, Giansily's compositions are anchored by his compelling left- hand ostinatos and a deep sense of groove, offering a jazz experience that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. « A shifting, contrasting, and expressive music, marked by great sensitivity, imbued with a spiritual dimension ». ¬—Lionel Eskenazi, Jazz Magazine
