About Sylvie Courvoisier

Musician

Pianist-composer Sylvie Courvoisier, a Brooklyn-based native of Switzerland and winner of Germany’s International Jazz Piano Prize in 2022, has earned renown for balancing two distinct worlds: the deep, richly detailed chamber music of her European roots and the grooving, hook-laden sounds of the avant-jazz scene in New York City, her home for more than two decades.

Few artists feel truly at ease in both concert halls and jazz clubs, playing improvised or composed music. But Courvoisier — “a pianist of equal parts audacity and poise,” according to The New York Times — is as compelling when performing Stravinsky’s epochal Rite of Spring in league with new-music pianist Cory Smythe as she is when improvising with her own acclaimed jazz trio, featuring bassist Drew Gress and drummer Kenny Wollesen.

Sylvie Courvoisier: Amalthea

Read "Amalthea" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

Let us risk saying that the current scribe of this review is being suggestive, sexist, and stereotypical, (but not misleading) when commenting that Sylvie Courvoisier's piano tempts and seduces man and woman alike, from beginning to end, on the stand-out, nee stand alone, Amalthea . It would surely not make said commentator wrong. With muses and ...

Yet listening closely to the two groups reveals how far jazz has travelled between 1950 and now. Like John Lewis, Sylvie Courvoisier has an allegiance to European art music; where the MJQ cultivated poised, contrapuntal elegance, Amalthea favours abrupt changes ...
