Guitarist Romain Pilon Releases New Album "Open Roads". Following Falling Grace, in which he explored standards in trio featuring drummer Jeff Ballard that racked up over 4 million streams, guitarist Romain Pilon opens up new musical horizons with Open Roads, an album that showcases his talents as a composer. Combining voices and textures with a subtle imagination, featuring one of those stellar line-ups that Romain Pilon has a secret for, this album combines an ironclad trio formed with bassist Orlando le Fleming (Ari Hoenig, OWL Trio) and drummer Mark Whitfield, Jr. (Kenny Garrett, Black Art Jazz Collective) and a quintet with an unprecedented combination of sounds, combining the trumpet of Belgian star Jean-Paul Estiévenart with the vibraphone of Alexis Valet, France’s new kid of vibes. Evolving between the adventurous spirit of the Blue Note albums of the grande époque and a more contemporary ECM-type sound, showing the influence of Pat Metheny and Kenny Wheeler alike, Open Roads unveils a series of sensitive, poetic, lyrical and groovy tracks, unfolding a wide palette of emotions and colors, under the fingers of a guitarist whose reputation is well established.
