French Jazz. Pierre-François Blanchard Trio

Pierre-François Blanchard (piano, composition)
Thomas Savy (clarinet, bass clarinet)
Adèle Viret (cello)

Pianist Pierre-François Blanchard’s brand-new trio, ALIBI, brings together three exceptional French jazz musicians. Representing three different generations, these virtuoso instrumentalists perform Blanchard’s original compositions. His latest album, "#puzzled", was named Album of the Year in 2024 at the prestigious Victoires du Jazz and by the Académie Charles Cros.

Clarinetist Thomas Savy is an experienced ensemble player who also collaborates with Blanchard in their duo project, "#puzzled". In recent years, he has given numerous solo performances across Europe and Japan.

Cellist Adèle Viret is a rising star who has quickly demonstrated maturity as both a soloist and a chamber musician. In 2025, she received the Prix Frank Ténot from Victoires du Jazz, an award presented to the most promising newcomer of the year.

The tour is organised in partnership with AJC, Adami, Centre national de la musique, and the French Institute in Estonia.
