Simon Denizart will have you seeing double with his performance videos for the nimble new singles Music Box and 9-4 — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Originally from Créteil, French jazz pianist Denizart arrived in Montreal in 2011 and wasted no time in getting his music heard. Initially working with the Canadian label The 270 Sessions, he produced three albums: Between Two Worlds (2015), Beautiful People (2016) and Darkside (2017). This productive period earned him the Radio-Canada Revelation award in 2016 and two ADISQ nominations in 2017 and 2018. Released in 2021 on the Laborie Jazz label, his fourth album Nomad offers a dynamic and original encounter between the piano and the calabash. It was also nominated for an ADISQ award in the Album of the Year – Jazz category.
The critically acclaimed pianist has played in Canada, France, Canada, Czech Republic, Cuba and elsewhere, and his performances leave no one indifferent. He plays sensitive, energizing music that spans a number of genres — everything from rock and classical to world music — and is sprinkled with subtle, accessible melodies. In 2023 he began a new collaboration with Canadian label Justin Time Records, who will release his forthcoming fifth album Piece of Mind.
