Arshid Azarine – New album: Trio + Guests Live (Ohrwurm Records)

French-Iranian pianist Arshid Azarine returns on April 24, 2026, with the release of Trio + Guests Live, following his 2024 album Vorticity.

Joined by percussionist Habib Meftah (known for collaborations with Trio Joubran and Titi Robin) and bassist Hervé de Ratuld, Azarine presents an organic and expressive work inspired by the theme of freedom in Iran.

The album was recorded in Paris in 2025 at the 360 Paris Music Factory during the Au fil des Voix festival, as well as at the Sunside Jazz Club. It captures the immediacy of live performance—marked by tension, precision, spontaneity, and emotional depth.

Guest appearances include vocalists Nuria Rovira Salat and Golsa, along with a recorded vocal contribution from Golshifteh Farahani.

Trio + Guests Live unfolds as a music of transition and transformation, where harmonies take on shifting, atmospheric textures and rhythms are both grounded and exploratory, drawing influence from diverse musical traditions, including those of the broader Middle East.

Arshid Azarine – Nouvel album Trio + Guests Live – Sortie vinyle et digitale le 24/04/2026 (Ohrwurm Records)
Le pianiste franco-iranien Arshid Azarine est de retour le 24 avril 2026 avec l’album Trio + Guests Live. Cet album fait suite à l’album Vorticity sorti en 2024. Accompagné par les polyrythmies du percussionniste Habib Meftah (Trio Joubran, Titi Robin), et la basse de Hervé de RatuldArshid Azarine signe une œuvre organique dédiée à la liberté en Iran.

Enregistré à Paris en 2025, au 360 Paris Music Factory lors du festival Au fil des Voix et au Sunside Jazz Club, cet album capte ce qui ne se répète pas : la tension, l’écoute, le risque, l’émotion. On retrouve en invités Nuria Rovira Salat (voix), Golsa (voix), et la voix enregistrée de Golshifteh Farahani. Une musique de passage, de transformation, où les accords prennent des couleurs aériennes et mouvantes, où les rythmes s’ancrent autant qu’ils s’échappent dans des contrées orientales.

Arshid Azarine est aussi radiologue cardio-vasculaire. Il observe les flux, les turbulences, les mouvements invisibles. Et dans la musique comme dans l’image, il cherche la même chose : le cœur. Le premier extrait s’appelle Abann à découvrir avec un clip en animation signé Sarah Tabibzadeh. 

Pour découvrir le clip d’Abann :

Pianiste franco-iranien, Arshid Azarine tisse depuis plusieurs années une œuvre à la croisée des mondes, où les racines de la musique persane rencontrent l’espace ouvert du jazz. Une musique de passage, de transformation, où les accords prennent des couleurs aériennes et mouvantes, où les rythmes s’ancrent autant qu’ils s’échappent dans des contrées orientales.

Le live est pour lui une manière d’entrer en relation, de créer, de partager. À ses côtés, deux musiciens d’exception : le percussionniste Habib Meftah dont le jeu polyryhtmique porte en lui les mémoires africaines du sud iranien, et le bassiste Hervé de Ratuld. Ostinatos, pédales, lignes de basse souples. Ensemble, ils forment un trio traversé par les cultures, habité par une même quête : celle du mouvement. Car la vie n’existe qu’en mouvement. Après 7 Djan (2015), Sing Me a Song (2019) et Vorticity (2024), ce nouvel album marque un retour à l’essentiel : le live, la forme qui se construit en temps réel. Écoute, interaction, respiration collective. Enregistré à Paris en 2025, cet album capte ce qui ne se répète pas : la tension, l’écoute, le risque, l’émotion. Il est dédié à celles et ceux qui se battent en Iran pour la liberté. Là où jouer du jazz peut être passible de prison, chaque note prend une autre densité. Ici, la liberté n’est pas acquise : elle est ressentie comme un miracle, un instant fragile.

La version digitale ajoute un inédit « Erevan-Tabriz-Téhéran », récit musical d’un voyage réel devenu mémoire. « Ce titre est né d’un souvenir très personnel : il retrace le voyage en voiture, entrepris pour rejoindre le mariage du pianiste Tigran Hamasyan à Erevan (Arménie).

Entre mémoire et présent, science et sensation, ancrage et vertige, Arshid Azarine Trio + Guests Live est un album de circulation. Une musique qui cherche moins à dire qu’à faire ressentir. Une musique qui, simplement, vit. Sans peur, au-delà des frontières et des barres de mesure.

World Music Mix: Wassim Soubra(Lebanon/France): Il Vento

Wassim Soubra
Nouvel album Il Vento
Sortie le 13 juin 2025 en digital
Wassim Soubra, pianiste et compositeur libano-français, est de retour le 13 juin 2025 avec son nouvel album Il Vento.

Pour ce voyage musical aux évocations cinématographiques, Wassim Soubra s’entoure de Julie Sevilla-Fraysse au violoncelle, d’Henri Tournier à la flûte et de Khaled Al-Jaramani au oud.

Wassim Soubra s’est fait connaître du grand public au début des années 2000 avec son projet Bach to Beirutqui rendait hommage à la musique de J.S. Bach sur des consonances orientales (piano, oud, percussions).

S’ensuivit un album de piano solo produit par l’Institut du Monde Arabe (Sonates Orientales) qui lui ouvrit les portes des grandes salles de concert.

Compositeur délicat et maître dans l’art de ciseler des mélodies pures qui plonge la musique classique aux confins de la musique du monde, Wassim Sombra tisse des liens féconds entre Orient et Occident.

La musique d‘Il Vento nous fait penser tour à tour aux couleurs orientales d’un Anouar Brahem, aux ambiances éthérées d’un Tigran Hamasyan ou encore à la poésie d’un Claude Debussy. Il ne reste plus qu’à fermer les yeux pour se laisser emporter par la magie de ces compositions uniques. 

Wassim Soubra, pianiste et compositeur libano-français, est né à Beyrouth et réside aujourd’hui à Paris. Initié au piano dès l’âge de 4 ans, il quitte le Liban en 1974 en raison de la guerre civile et s’installe en France, où il poursuit des études de droit. Diplômé en 1978, il retourne à Beyrouth, où sa passion pour la musique et le piano prend un tournant décisif. En 1980, il est admis au Conservatoire de musique de Boston, marquant le début d’un parcours musical prometteur.

Deux ans plus tard, il s’installe à Paris pour approfondir ses études de piano à l’École Normale de Musique, où il obtient en 1986 une licence en pédagogie pianistique. Parallèlement, il se forme à la danse et explore l’art du mouvement pendant dix ans, une expérience qui enrichit sa pratique musicale. C’est dans ce cadre qu’il découvre l’improvisation, un terrain fertile pour son évolution en tant que compositeur.

Wassim Soubra poursuit sa formation en composition musicale à la Schola Cantorum de Paris sous la direction de Pierre Doury et Michel Merlet. Il y étudie le contrepoint, l’harmonie et l’orchestration, perfectionnant ainsi sa maîtrise des codes de la musique classique occidentale, tout en y intégrant les sonorités et traditions orientales.

Ses compositions, marquées par un dialogue subtil entre Orient et Occident, se distinguent par leur richesse narrative et leur pluralité culturelle. Il compose pour le piano solo, des trios, des quatuors et des quintettes, mais aussi pour des œuvres plus vastes comme des opéras et des oratorios. Il utilise la grammaire musicale classique pour tisser des récits ancrés dans la mythologie, l’histoire et son vécu personnel.

Artiste de scène accompli, il présente ses œuvres en solo ou en collaboration avec des ensembles prestigieux, se produisant dans des lieux et festivals renommés à travers le monde : le Palais de l’UNESCO à Paris, le Cadogan Hall à Londres, le Festival de Baalbek au Liban, le Festival de musique arabe de Montréal, ou encore le Festival de l’Union européenne à Paris.

Au cœur de son œuvre, Wassim Soubra traduit les échos de son enfance et des paysages sonores culturelle, offre une expérience universelle, unissant traditions et modernité dans une harmonie captivante.

Sur le nouvel album Il Vento, le piano de Wassim Soubra dialogue avec le violoncelle de Julie Sevilla-Fraysse, la flûte d’Henri Tournier et l’oud  de Khaled Al-Jaramani.

JazzWorldQuest Showcase 2025

JazzWorldQuest Showcase 2025: Antoine Fafard (UK/Canada)-Quadra Spherium

Released in June 2025, Quadra Spherium is the name of the album from Antoine Fafard, featuring Gary Husband on drums and Jean-Pierre Zanella on tenor saxophone. The concept behind this album stems from two fortuitous opportunities. Firstly, Antoine’s motivation to craft an album specifically for Jean-Pierre Zanella on the tenor saxophone. Although Jean-Pierre has been primarily associated with the alto sax, a session he recorded for Antoine on the tenor inspired further exploration.

The second opportunity arose when Gary Husband informed Antoine that his new Pearl Crystal Beat kit was stored at Dock Street Studios in London, and that he was available for recording. Antoine eagerly embraced the chance to combine this with the project he had envisioned for Jean-Pierre, creating at the same time a sequel to the Sphère album released in 2016, where Gary played drums. Quadra Spherium showcases Antoine on bass and all guitars, allowing him to push the boundaries of his guitar playing in an instrumental jazz fusion context. Multi-instrumentalist Gary Husband is well known for his long association with guitarist Allan Holdsworth, with whom he recorded multiple albums and extensively performed over many years. As a session musician, Husband’s credits include collaborations with artists such as Jack Bruce, Gary Moore, Level 42, Jeff Beck, Mike Stern and many more. His parallel voice as a keyboard player has seen him as a member of John McLaughlin’s group The 4th Dimension and Billy Cobham’s touring bands. As a bandleader, soloist and composer Gary has released over 14 album recordings under his own name.

Jean-Pierre Zanella, a highly sought-after player in Montreal, Canada, earned his master’s degree in jazz from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, in 1982. Recognized by the Brazilian government with the honorific Order of Rio Branco, Zanella won the Oscar Peterson Prize at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal in 2011 for his significant contributions to the Canadian jazz scene. Having released music for 25 years, Antoine Fafard has collaborated with some of the world’s most respected and influential players, including Vinnie Colaiuta, Jerry Goodman, Gavin Harrison, Simon Phillips, and Todd Sucherman. Fafard’s music has consistently earned praise for its intricacy and originality from his peers.

Distributed by Amplified Distribution and Code 7 (UK), Quadra Spherium is now available for exploration and enjoyment since its release in June 2025.

Quadra Spherium
The new album featuring Gary Husband and Jean-Pierre ZanellaI’m glad to announce the upcoming June 13th release of Quadra Spherium, a new album featuring Gary Husband on drums and Jean-Pierre Zanella on saxophone.

This project is the result of bringing together two amazing musicians to perform new, original music that I’ve composed over the years. This album is my second release featuring Gary on drums, following Sphère, which came out nearly 10 years ago. Gary played his parts on his Pearl Crystal Beat kit – a performance that was captured on video and is also available for purchase as a single file. Meanwhile, Jean-Pierre, a longtime contributor to my album projects, is featured throughout Quadra Spherium on tenor saxophone.

The CD version of the album is now available to pre-order on my website, as well as various packages. Orders from my website will be shipped prior to the official release date.

Exclusive to my website is a sheet music book package (CD included). This product features the written parts used by the musicians who performed on the album.

I hope you’ll enjoy this new project and many thanks for your support!

World Music Mix: Ensemble Myrtho(France)-Au Gré d’Eros

Ensemble Myrtho
Nouvel album : Au Gré d’Eros
Sortie le 04/04/2025 chez Concertons ! / L’Autre Distribution
Après de nombreux concerts dans toute la France, l’Ensemble Myrtho sort le 04 avril 2025 son premier album Au Gré d’Eros, et nous dévoile ses musiques oniriques d’Orient et d’Occident. L’album propose onze thèmes musicaux et littéraires traditionnels de France et de Méditerranée : poésie d’amour populaire et savante, sérénades, anciennes légendes, contes chantés, thèmes épiques.
L’Ensemble Myrtho réunit quatre musiciens (santour, violon, alto, vielle à roue, percussions méditerranéennes, kemençe d’Istanbul, chant.) Avec eux se mêlent les sonorités acoustiques et la voix dans un mélange unique entre classique et musique du monde.
Explorant et réarrangeant des thèmes traditionnels et des poèmes populaires de la Méditerranée européenne, l’Ensemble Myrtho nous séduit par sa poésie millénaire. Tout au long de l’album Au Gré d’Eros, les langues latines côtoient les sonorités plus rauques des dialectes grecs, les harmonies d’Europe occidentale se mêlent aux thèmes venus de la Mer Égée, qui tirent vers l’Orient et dansent sur des rythmes impairs. Découvrez le premier extrait, Rossignolet du bois, une chanson traditionnelle du Quercy qui clôt l’album Au Gré d’Eros.

L’Ensemble Myrtho est composé de quatre musiciens venus d’horizons différents, mais reliés par une passion pour les musiques et les instruments traditionnels de Méditerranée : Pierre Blanchut (santour), Laetitia Marcangeli (chant et vielle à roue), Raphaël Sibertin-Blanc (violon, alto, kemençe d’Istanbul), Timothée Tchang Tien Ling (percussions méditerranéennes).

Dans une perspective à la fois musicale et littéraire, l’album Au Gré d’Eros déploie un répertoire de poèmes chantés, lyriques ou narratifs, évoquant la variété d’émotions qui accompagnent le capricieux sentiment amoureux.

L’Ensemble Myrtho, qui emprunte son nom à un poème de Gérard de Nerval, tente de relier musicalement et poétiquement l’orient et l’occident méditerranéens, tant par l’exploration et le réarrangement de thèmes traditionnels et de poèmes populaires de Méditerranée européenne, que par la remise en musique et en scansion d’une poésie parfois aussi ancienne que celle de Sapho (VIIe siècle avant J.-C.) ou des élégiaques latins (Ier siècle).

Le répertoire joue sur les thèmes musicaux et littéraires traditionnels de France et de Méditerranée : poésie d’amour populaire et savante, sérénades, anciennes légendes, contes chantés, thèmes épiques.

Poésie d’amour populaire et savante, sérénades, anciennes légendes, contes chantés, thèmes épiques reprennent vie ainsi portés par les chants traditionnels de Grèce, de Corse, de l’Espagne.

Prochains concerts :

  • Samedi 4 mai, Revel (31)
  • Vendredi 28 juin, Maiholas (31)
  • Samedi 29 juin, Tourtour (83)

JazzWorldQuest World Music Mix : The Mint 400-Beauty Makes Promises Beauty Can’t Keep

The Mint 400-BEAUTY MAKES PROMISES BEAUTY CAN'T KEEP

Conceived as a tribute to the influential Northern Soul movement that emerged in Northern England during the early 1970s, British musician and producer Paul Wheatcroft captures its essence and sound, employing a diverse array of techniques and tools.

As Paul Wheatcroft describes:

“The album took 9 months to write, record and produce. I played or programmed everything and the Memphis singer Rachel Maxann provided vocals. In terms of production, it was recorded using a special plugin which mimics the sound of 1960s microphones. I studied the way the ‘Motown’ sound was achieved and tried to replicate that, including the ‘bleed’ you get between microphones when instruments are recorded to gather in the same room. Then I used a series of effects to mimic 1960s ’solid state’ analogue mixing desks and reverbs. Reverbs became very important because the instruments are recorded at specific distances from the listener, to give a depth to the sound. After that, the mixing and mastering was done as flat as possible, to allow the natural sounds of the instruments to come through.

The album is based on a quote from a book by Cormac McCarthy, and really continues the ’tainted love’ theme which characterizes Northern Soul.”

However, Beauty Makes Promises Beauty Can’t Keep is not simply a modernized rendition of the Northern Soul atmosphere enhanced by contemporary technology. Instead, it is rooted in a thoughtful compositional approach, where the iconic Motown sound serves as a foundation for the artist to craft a new subjective identity. This approach pays homage to the past while reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens.

The result is a unique concept imbued with the energy of soul music, capturing the personal vision and creativity of its author.
