"A thoughtful chill runs through the music of Benoît Delbecq, a french pianist of investigative temperament and crystalline technique."
The New York Times

"Utterly fascinating." The Daily Telegraph

"A voyage into a land of magic."
Le Monde


"A profound originality."
Jazz In Time

"A pianist who deserves full attention."
The Village Voice


"A wonderful improviser."
The Guardian


"Un piano-monde."
Les Inrockuptibles


"Plenty of forward-thinking jazz pianists have been painted with a modern-classical brush, but few have approached improvisation armed with the manual vocabularies demanded by Cage, Ligeti and the like with the same diligence and flair as Parisian keyboardist Delbecq."    

"Bien des pianistes de jazz qui pensent plus loin ont été décrit d'un trait moderne, cependant peu ont approché l’improvisation armé du vocabulaire manuel exigé par Cage, Ligeti et les autres, avec le même soin et le même flair que le pianiste parisien Benoît Delbecq."

"A brilliant and unconventional pianist." The New York Times

Dextrous, brainy, strangely moving. A Frenchman, an enlightened experimenter of a music decidedly personal in the way it links influences from the freest improvisation to the ultra-sophisticated constructions of jazz and/or contemporary composers. He prepares the piano with various materials such as carved wooden twigs, rubber wedges and improvises on short, overlapping vamps and patterns; the result is a complex, spacious sound that hardly seems to be emanating from a single instrument.
MORE ABOUT BENOIT

Orfèvre du piano préparé, poète du sampling live aux commandes de ses 9 volts à claviers, Benoît Delbecq nourrit avec subtilité et énergie un large spectre des préoccupations artistiques contemporaines. En aventurier du jazz électronique, il affectionne les sonorités faites de recyclage de samples, ainsi que d'envoûtantes lignes de bass station. Il expérimente ludiquement ses ritournelles aériennes, ses phrasés organiques, ses harmonies fugitives dans des tissages audacieux, mélangeant à sa façon composition et improvisation.
