Stephane Huchard - Panamerica (2013)

For this new record, Stéphane Huchard travels from Paris to Big Apple and meet the best jazz musicians in New York. Pianist Jim Beard, saxophonist Chris Cheek, bassist Matt Penman and guitarist Nir Felder gathered at Brooklyn Recording Studio to play and record original compositions of drummer and leader Stéphane Huchard. With their subtle and elegant playing, the presence of the most Parisian of Argentinian percussionists Minino Garay and the artistic direction of wonderful French pianist Eric Legnini (who brought his sense of groove and melody), 'Panamerican' looks like a major album in Stéphane Huchard’s career.
