On 8th of July, Pierre Drevet will lead an academic masterclass!

Among the leading figures of French jazz, Pierre Drevet is one of the most influential. A versatile musician, a trumpeter, but also a composer and brilliant arranger, this artist, who is all too often overlooked, is a sideman sought after by the greatest musicians. A virtuoso with solid and consistently precise phrasing, his playing is fascinatingly clear. Acclaimed by André Ceccarelli, Ricardo Del Fra, Simon Goubert, Didier Lockwood, and Charles Aznavour, Drevet has also won over Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, and John Lewis, whom he has accompanied. The big band is also one of his areas of excellence: Laurent Cugny’s National Jazz Orchestra, the “Patrice Caratini Jazz Ensemble,” and the “Brussels Jazz Orchestra”. With a distinguished career, international concerts, and an impressive discography (more than 25 albums), Pierre Drevet shares his talent and experience as a professor in the jazz department at the ENM in Chambéry.
