BEN RANDO

FRANCE
JAZZ
TRUE STORY TOUR : MAY 2017

About

In 2016 , the pianist Ben Rando brings together a team of exceptional musicians to deliver his «True Story», first album in his own name. Fascinated by classical music of the XXth century and also keening folk and pop music, he signs a jazz album resolutely contemporaneous with a modern sound carried by intimist and profound atmospheres.

Passionate by singing and built by previous successes with experienced vocalists such as Marion Rampal, Leïla Martial and Anna Farrow, he chooses to give a key position at Sarah Elizabeth Charles pure and vibrant voice who also writes the album lyrics.

Ben Rando’s music is at a crossroads, taking the risk to mix simple musical forms and harmonic richness of Ravel and Fauré, linking these two worlds through the universal language of jazz.

BEN RANDO
Piano, Composition

Bach is his first meet with music at the age of 8 : before he learns solfege, his father shows him how to reproduce this music on keyboard. At the age of 17, he leaves high school and chooses to dedicate his life to music. He is trained at lMFP and then in Marseille and Paris conservatories where he learns writing for Big band and improves his theoretical and pianistic knowledge. In 2006 he founds the Dress Code quintet with Yacine Boularès, Olivier Laisney, Cédrick Bec and Simon Tailleu. Together they record the album FAR AWAY prefaced by the New-Yorker saxophonist Chris Cheek. The disc is nominated « Révélation » by Jazz Magazine.

« The pianist Ben Rando is a key pillar on the band. » Citizen jazz
« A sound and a group cohesion of an absolute perfection with millimitered compositions and solos. » Jazz Magazine

From 2007 he discovers new improvisation forms by joining the project Anitya, a pluridisciplinarity band gathering musicians, dancers and actors for improvised performances directed by a gestual language called Soundpainting (Festival d’Avignon, residencies at Studio de l’Ermitage, Paris, radiophonic creations for France Culture… ). This experience allows him to develop his musical language and set free from musical conventions.

In 2008 the collaboration with the trumpet player Florent Briqué brings him to electric music also nourished by improvisation and jazz. Together they will often perform in China on prestigious stages (Hong-Kong International Jazz Festival, JZ Shanghai Music Festival, Hunan Grand Theater…).In 2011 he is called to produce music to image. He produces several sound illustration albums with G-Sound label and writes music for different short films. He conceives his own studio for which he becomes a self-taught sound engineer.

In 2013 he composes and produces the original sound track of the full length movie “Merci les jeune”s (Réal. J.Polidor).At the same period, he densifies his activity of « sideman » and composer by joining different scenic and discographic musical, dance, theater and audiovisual projects. He founds in 2015 the label ONDE by collaborating with the american label Ropeadope (Grammy awards winner with Snarky Puppy…). He co-writes and produces what will become the first publication of the label : Days & moods by the French-English singer Anna Farrow. («Must TSF JAZZ», Le MONDE selection,…)
