Info zu Sisyphe

Twelve exceptional soloists, a multi-faceted repertoire and a rock-solid swing – Pierre de Bethmann displays his sense of adventure with a ‘medium ensemble’ in the sixth stage of his ‘ilium’ project.

Originating from his residency at l’Apostrophe Scène National de Cergy-Pontoise et du Val d’Oise (a multidisciplinary arts project), Pierre de Bethmann takes us on a high-fl ying journey, the result of shared work with a rare coherence and recorded in a remarkable acoustic very close to a concert setting.

With the eight wind instruments blended together over the course of a huge range of melodic ideas, a voice treated like an instrument itself and a rhythm section of astonishing deftness, Pierre de Bethmann has created a new framework which allows his writing to explore numerous sound worlds – all in the service of some mind-blowing solos.

A long-standing fan of rhythmic, harmonic and melodic originality, attached to an orchestral sound which is entirely his own, and quietly stubborn, Pierre de Bethmann demonstrates the simple joy of introducing new partners into a core of artists which, over the course of time, has formed an astonishing bond.

1 hour 40 minutes of music, to be savored without restraint.

Pierre de Bethmann
Born in 1965 in Boulogne-Billancourt. Begins his musical training when 6 years old, learning classical piano, and progressively discovers the world of jazz from 12 years old and on. Concurrently pursuing his formal general studies and his musical training (both in classical and jazz), he graduates from ESCP (French equivalent of Yale) in 1987. He then studies for one year at the Berklee College of Music (Boston-USA) in 1989, and carries off with Prysm the first prize of the National Jazz Contest of La Defense in 1994.

Having started a career of management consulting from 1990 until 1994, he radically switches his orientations to become a professional musician in 1995, a year after having founded the trio Prysm with Christophe Wallemme and Benjamin Henocq. Since 1997, Prysm has been extremely busy, as much on stage (more than 50 concerts per year, including 3 international tours, one in the US, one in Japan and one in the Middle East) as on records (4 albums released on Blue Note).

He creates in 2001 his new quintet Ilium, developing with it a brand new repertory built around the Fender Rhodes, touring extensively in various French concerts venues, and whose first album is released on April 8th 2003 (Effendi/Naive).

Also a member of various steady formations (to quote a few Olivier Ker Ourio’s, Stephane Huchard’s, David El Malek’s), he has occasionally performed with notably Eddie Henderson, Aldo Romano, Philip Catherine, Francois Jeanneau, Patrice Caratini, Stephano Di Battista, Sylvain Beuf, Francois Theberge, Julien Lourau, Norma Winstone, Sarah Lazarus…

Beside Ilium and Prysm, he has recorded several albums with Olivier Ker Ourio, Stephane Huchard, David El Malek, Jean-Loup Longnon, Jean-Christophe Beney, and the big band Quoi de Neuf Docteur.
