Igor Gehenot Trio
The project was launched in 2022 by a close-knit trio: pianist Igor Gehenot, double bassist Sal La Rocca, and drummer Umberto Odone. Their original intention was simple: to play comforting jazz standards in a spirit of returning to their roots after the upheavals of the health crisis. Together, they revisit the great names of post-bop, from Freddie Hubbard to Lee Morgan, Mulgrew Miller, and Nicholas Payton, with freshness and vitality.
It is from this initial impulse that Shining Face, the pianist’s new album, emerges. Dedicated to his son, this new opus is distinguished by a clear common thread: a taste for swing and melody. In keeping with his previous albums, Igor Gehenot affirms his musical signature more than ever: finely crafted writing, harmonic sensitivity, and profound artistic coherence.
Driven by an obvious chemistry between the three musicians already united in the Sal La Rocca Quintet. Between original compositions and inspired reinterpretations of standards, pianist Igor Gehenot’s new group explores a vibrant post-bop repertoire that is both demanding and accessible.
