PIERRE DE BETHMANN TRIO
#StandardAcousticTrio
Pierre de Bethmann continues his journey with a new trio formula, with outstanding guitarist Nelson Veras joining his voice to that of the piano and Sylvain Romano's double bass.
Thus, with a more intimate sound but nevertheless marked by strong personalities, this new trio continues to explore all the richness of a repertoire made of standards from multiple musical traditions, sometimes transformed by the musicians' harmonic and rhythmic inspiration, sometimes chosen on the spot.
A new trio for a very special group sound, with two exceptional partners, whose careers speak for themselves, and who never tire of cultivating the science of music as an art of living.

The fifth album Essais / Volume 5 was released in January 2023, and was awarded a Choc Jazz Magazine and Indispensable JazzNews.
Essais / Volume 6 is to be released end 2025
