Olivier Laisney Trumpet player
maxim Francois
career
Born in 1982 in Saint-Lô, Laisney has asserted himself as one of the most subtle trumpet players on the scene, articuling a jazz culture marked by the influence of Woody Shaw and the great hard bop instrumentalists, as proven by his playing in the Gil Evans Paris Workshop led by Laurent Cugny, along whith resolutely contemprary conceptions that he explores at the head of his own Slugged project, as well as in the various groups in the nebula of Stéphane Payen's Workshop as well as Magic Malik's Fanfare XP, Louis Sclavis, Laurent Cugny, Stéphane Payen, Alban Darche, Sarah Murcia, Gilles Coronado etc...
The intelligence of his phrasing and the precision of his articulation, combined whith the way he re-assembles the elements of the grammar of jazz, make him a particularly inspired soloist.
