JAZZ ON5
Grégory Privat Trio (FR/CZ)

Grégory Privat is a French jazz pianist who was born in Martinique (French West Indies) in 1984. His earliest musical influence was his father, José Privat who was the pianist of the famous Caribbean band Malavoi. José Privat who was a self-taught pianist encouraged Grégory to take piano lessons. In this way, Grégory began to play the piano at the age of six with a private teacher. He studied classical music for ten years and at barely 16 years old, he began composing music for the section of his high school where he became one of the most active members. In the years that followed, Grégory had the opportunity to meet other valuable musicians including: Orlando “Maraca” Valle, Jacques Schwarz-Bart, Stéphane Huchard, Dominique Di Piazza, Rémi Vignolo, Catia Werneck, Sonny Troupé, Guillaume Perret, Stéphane Belmondo and worked with them as a sideman. Soon after, Grégory creates a new more personal band that leads him to play his compositions at major jazz clubs in Paris. Thanks to this, in 2011 he releases his first album called “Ki Koté”.  After “Ki Koté” which has been pointed out by the media and the public in 2013, Grégory releases his second album “Tales of Cyparis”, on the record label “Plus Loin / Abeille Musique.” “Tales of Cyparis” is an illustration of the story of Louis-Auguste Cyparis, a former sailor and one of the rare survivors of the tragic eruption of Mount Pelée that destroyed Saint-Pierre, former capital of Martinique in 1902. This album takes Grégory among the most prominent musicians of the new Jazz scene. He will perform with fantastic trio with drummer Til Berthol and front Doublebass palyer Jiří Slavík.
