| Guitarist Romain Pilon Releases Beautiful Tribute to His Late Father In 2022, his version of 'Lament' (over 3.5M cumulated streams) showed Romain Pilon to be a master of ballads. Now the guitarist does it again with 'Thirty Years After', a poignant tribute to his father who passed away much too soon. With a beautifully rendered sound, this new trio track is full of emotion, but all subtlety and restraint, delicately accompanied by Mark Whitfield Jr. on brushes, and featuring Orlando le Fleming on bass. A breath of nostalgia, beautiful beyond words. New Album "Open Roads" Drops Out: April 11, 2025 Romain Pilon, guitar, compositions (FR) Orlando le Fleming, double bass (UK) Mark Whitfield, Jr., drums (US) + Jean-Paul Estiévenart, trumpet (BE) Alexis Valet, vibes (FR) What the press says about Romain Pilon: "Pilon glides through the music with a superb sense of confidence... never loud, never distorted, never raging, but always unpredictable" — Jazz Times "Pilon has a flawless technique and a delicacy of sound that makes his expositions (...) about mesmeric." — JazzWise "Pilon is a player with extravagant style and pedigree" — Marlbank "Pilon is world class" — Financial Times write your comments about the article :: © 2025 Jazz News :: home page |
