Dominique Pifarély TRIO

About Me

Dominique Pifarély Trio is a new unit made by one of today's most talented violin players. This is an electric adventure — el. violin, Hammond organ and Fender Rhodes, drums —, between rock, contemporary music and free jazz, combining energy, narrative structures and sonic exploration.Dominique Pifarély modernized jazz violin, combining extraordinary technical skills with an inclusive idea of music-making. He has been soon very in-demand as a straight jazz player, but was soon in some of the more adventurous groups in Europe, too, including Mike Westbrook's band (On Dukes' Birthday, hatART) and the Vienna Art Orchestra.In 1985, Pifarély started to work with reedist Louis Sclavis and in 1992, they formed the Sclavis/Pifarély Acoustic Quartet, featuring guitarist Marc Ducret and bassist Bruno Chevillon, and recorded for ECM. Pifarély recorded also a prominent duo work with pianist François Couturier (Poros, ECM, 1998).As a leader, Pifarély splits his time between his trio, a acoustic 9-piece band, and a work with poetry and litterature.In his mature style, the classical violin tradition and the swing lessons combine with a contemporary European sonic exploration ; his technical mastery and quick imagination allow him to move seamlessly between these worlds.
