Musician

Dominique Pifarély

Dominique Pifarély modernized jazz violin, combining extraordinary technical skills with an inclusive idea of music-making. He has been soon very in-demand as a straight jazz player, but was soon in some of the more adventurous groups in Europe, too, including Mike Westbrook’s band (On Dukes’ Birthday, hatART) and the Vienna Art Orchestra. In 1979, he began touring with bassist Didier Levallet and guitarist Gérard Marais as a trio. In the 1980s he began leading his own bands, as can be heard on 2 records, Insula Dulcamara (1988) et Oblique (1992). In 1985, Pifarély started to work with reedist Louis Sclavis and in 1992, they formed the Sclavis/Pifarély Acoustic Quartet, featuring guitarist Marc Ducret and bassist Bruno Chevillon, and recorded for ECM

Francois Couturier, Dominique Pifarély: Preludes and Songs

Read "Preludes and Songs" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Cameristica contemporanea di altissimo livello che s'intreccia con il jazz e con la musica popolare, distillandola in note purissime e affacinanti: questo è, in etrema sintesi, l'ennesimo incontro tra lo straordinario violinista francese Dominique Pifarély e il non meno prestigioso connazionale pianista Francois Couturier, artisti che collaborano da quarant'anni e che nel 1997 avevano già pubblicato ...

François Couturier / Dominique Pifarély and Bob Bralove / Patti Weiss: Intimacy Writ Large

Read "François Couturier / Dominique Pifarély and Bob Bralove / Patti Weiss: Intimacy Writ Large" reviewed by Doug Collette


The intimacy of a given musical setting does not necessarily translate to accessibility. And duo performances can be among the most thought-provoking of any instrumental combination, revealing not only the fundamental difficulty of not just playing music with skill, but doing so via interaction with other musicians. Besides that particular enlightenment, these coincidental releases further illuminate ...

Lana Meets Jazz 2024

Read "Lana Meets Jazz 2024" reviewed by Paolo Peviani


Lana Meets Jazz 2024 Lana (BZ) 11-16.6.2024 Raccontare Lana Meets Jazz soffermandosi solo sugli aspetti musicali, sulle recensioni dei concerti, sarebbe riduttivo. Nelle intenzioni più o meno esplicite degli organizzatori, la sassofonista Helga Plankensteiner e il pianista Michael Lösch, questo festival infatti è anche (soprattutto?) un modo per avvicinare i cittadini ...

Sylvaine Hélary: Glowing Life

Read "Glowing Life" reviewed by Henning Bolte


Is flute an odd one out in the present jazz field? Not really and not at all in France. France not only has Michel Edelin in the older generation, it has still more flautists in the younger generation that are also bandleaders in their own right, for example Magic Malik, Eve Risser, Naïssam Jalal and, of ...
