52m
Elected Jazz Revelation of the Year at the Victoires de la Musique 2013, this young pianist is at the head of a remarkably close-knit trio, which highlights his classical and pop influences. His improvisations in no way flaunt virtuosity, favoring dynamics and remarkably mastered lyrical impulses.
A major jazzman and a great melodist!
Thomas Enhco, born in Paris in 1988, he has achieved international recognition, recording for labels Verve, Deutsche Grammophon and Sony Music and performing 100 concerts per year around the world. Among the venues that have invited him, are Jazz Festivals of Tokyo, Montréal, Vienne, Montreux, Istanbul, North Sea, New York, Olympia Hall... and Classical venues such as Philharmonie de Paris, Bordeaux Opéra, Brussels Flagey, La Roque d'Anthéron Piano Festival, Shanghai Grand Theater, Salzburg Mozarteum, Théâtre du Châtelet, Beijing Concert Hall, Kyoto Concert Hall, Sapporo Kitara Hall.
As a jazz pianist, Thomas Enhco performs mainly in solo piano, in trio (with double-bass and drums), and in various duets. In solo concerts, his unique combination of improvisations on jazz standards, pop songs and themes by great classical composers alike, as well as his own compositions, are praised by audiences and critics all around the world. His last album A Modern Songbook encompasses 125 years of songs, from Carole King to Sting, Gabriel Fauré to James Blake, Serge Gainsbourg to London Grammar, Nick Drake to Silvio Rodríguez. In 2023, the four sold-out performances given at Philharmonie de Paris, where he re-interpreted Keith Jarrett's legendary Köln Concert, remained engraved in the memory of the 4,000 spectators who attended.
