9th December 2019: Tony Tixier – January 2020 Tour

Melodic master, Tony Tixier released his Whirlwind debut Life Of Sensitive Creatures in August 2017 and it was incredibly well received. Tony will be heading out on the road come January 2020 with Matt Clohesy, Ben Leifer, Karl McComas Reichl, Jongkuk Kim, Ryan J Lee & Jonathan Pinson.

Keep an eye out for his new album in 2020…

“Following him on his diaphanous, floating runs, often dazzling arpeggios and angular dyads and chords we find ourselves with him in a bottomless pit of emotion. But always we are extricated by the pianist with his easy, loping virtuosity that stretches melodic lines into gentle arcs and parabolas which carve the air in the room… This is a piano trio with a long life and this a disc to die for.”
JazzdaGama (full review)

“Proving that outstanding piano trio recordings are still possible.”
Kind of Blue

“Sometimes playful… Always melodic and airy… A highly successful debut.”
Musik Reviews

“Tixier is one of the most promising pianists of his generation.”
Radio Dreyeckland (website)

“A fine flow of strong musical ideas and a lot of feeling.”
Zeitungshaus Bauer

“Melodic piano over ostinato riffs underpinned by odd meters and a variety of mood.”
Hi-Fi & Records

“Tixier masters a rich, harmonious language that naturally combines the complexity and intensity of post-romantic classical music with a disarming melodic and rhythmic simplicity.”
