BERG/SURMÉNIAN/JEANNE
Presentation CD Perpetuum
Edwin Berg piano, Eric Surménian bass, Fred Jeanne drums
The career of pianist and composer Edwin Berg (1972) has flourished since his stay in New York and especially after winning the ‘Best European Jazz Band Award’ at the Concurso Internacional de Jazz de Granada. With his Parisian trio he recorded the CD ‘Perpetuum’, which appeared on the label Beejazz. The album contains new compositions by Surménian, Jeanne and Berg, alongside renditions of a prelude by Bach, a piece by Bud Powell and various pop songs. ‘Un album parfaitement abouti au lyrisme rare et aux charmes intemporels’ (Jazz Magazine/Jazzman).
