Wajdi Riahi Trio - Zabonprés Sessions

Pianist Wajdi Riahi presents his live album with bassist Basile Rahola and drummer Pierre Hurty ‘Music can take unexpected forms if you play it for an audience that is ready for it.’ De Tunesisch-Belgian pianist Wajdi Riahi is convinced that there is a kind of magical energy for that. It must be exactly that magic that you feel on the ‘Zabonprés Sessions’, the vinyl record he recorded deep in the Ardennes, surrounded by nature and an intimate audience. The close friendship of the trio, the foreign tours with ‘Mhamdeya’ (2022) and ‘Essia’ (2023), Riahi’s experience with Stéphane Galland and Louise van den Heuvel, the mix of jazz, Mediterranean music, and folk traditions: it's all in the sizzling live album that the three are presenting to you tonight.
