Originally hailed as one of the bright young lions on the straight-ahead jazz scene of the 1990s, virtuoso pianist Jacky Terrasson developed into a sophisticated performer with eclectic stylistic taste. His feathery keyboard touch is coupled with a lot of power and passion, and a complete understanding of the blues and improvisation. Terrasson is also a gifted arranger, putting his own personal stamp on well-known tunes. He initially captured the public's attention winning the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 1993 and drew high praise from all corners of the jazz world for his debut, Jacky Terrasson, issued on Blue Note in 1995. Although he favors a trio, he has worked on more expansive projects, including 1997's Rendezvous with Cassandra Wilson, 2001's homage to his hometown A Paris..., and 2015's Take This with vocalist Sly Johnson. The intimate trio album 53 arrived in 2019.
Jacky Terrasson has also released music as a member of Jacky Terrasson Trio.
