Description
Paris-based guitarist Romain Pilon is one of France's most gifted and lauded contemporary jazz artists. 'Colorfield' sees him at the helm of an exciting all-star cast in Walter Smith III on tenor saxophone, bassist Michael Janisch and drummer Jamire Williams.
The album builds on the international success Pilon gained from his first solo release 'NY3' and continues his development as both a virtuosic performer and composer of considerable note and conceptual purity.
The programme consists of seven beautifully crafted original compositions and a reworking of Horace Silver's mystical "Lonely Woman". Throughout the album Pilon shines with an assured confidence of a seasoned veteran, while demonstrating his fleeting fretwork and notoriously infectious guitar tone.
"Romain Pilon is a guitarist full of surprises. He has a flawless technique and a great harmonic sense. He is someone to keep an eye on." - Lionel Loueke
Personnel: Romain Pilon (guitar), Walter Smith III (tenor saxophone), Michael Janisch (double bass), Jamire Williams (drums)
