Pianist Yonathan Avishai Releases "La Mélancolie" As 3rd Single

Release date: October 4th, 2024

For this third single from "Shapes and Sounds", his new trio album, the pianist offers us a moving interpretation of the song "La Mélancolie" (Melancholia) by the legendary French singer Léo Ferré. Faithful to the original melody, this stripped-down and romantic version, in the form of a sensitive sad ballad, is a suspended moment that will speak to everyone through its simplicity.

Five years after the release of his album "Joys and Solitudes" on ECM, pianist Yonathan Avishai is back on jazz&people—the label that discovered him in 2014. Celebrating a decade of fertile collaboration with his trio, with Yoni Zelnik on double bass and Donald Kontomanou on drums, the musician releases "Shapes and Sounds" an album in which he magnifies everything that has made the strength of his style and its reputation.
