| Guitarist Romain Pilon Delivers 1st Single from Upcoming Album Following the success of "Falling Grace", dedicated to jazz standards (over 5M cumulated streams), Romain Pilon returns with a sparkling international group and top-notch compositions. Launched by Orlando le Fleming (Ari Hoenig, Jeff Tain Watts) on double bass and buoyed by the nervous drumming of Mark Whitfield, Jr. (Kenny Garrett, Black Art Jazz Collective), first single 'Long Story Short' links a masterful solo by France's new vibraphone star Alexis Valet to a dazzling flight by the leader on guitar. Great art, superbly mixed by Alon Benjamini and mastered by Dave Darlington.
