Concertagenda Johan Dupont Trio

A classically trained pianist with expertise in jazz and improvisation, Johan Dupont has collaborated with diverse talents, from gypsy guitarist Samson Smith to opera singers Julie Mossay and Sarah Laulan. Dupont's evocative compositions delve into a nostalgic, dreamlike realm, reflecting bittersweet memories of a lost paradise filled with possibility and completeness. His delicate musical vision is brought to life with the help of two equally intrepid and versatile artists. Bo Waterschoot, graduate from the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, has an eclectic background spanning folk, jazz, pop, and Brazilian music, working with artists like Urban Trad and Sophie Cavez. Stephan Pougin, a former student of jazz legend Billy Hart, is a boundary-defying percussionist whose career bridges genres from baroque to Bossa Nova. Together, this trio fearlessly blends styles and influences to create music that transcends conventional categorization. The trio's eagerly-awaited debut album will be released on Flak Records (PIAS distribution) on January 31, 2025.
