"Une heureuse surprise pleine de
sens et de maturité, voilà ce qu'on se
dit à l'écoute du disque de
Sébastien Paindestre. Un petit bijou que l'on se
réjouit d'accueillir dans le magnifique écrin
qu'est le Duc des Lombards..."
Jean-Michel Proust
(février 2008).

"Ce talentueux pianiste sait créer des climats originaux,
développer, architecturer des émotions, retenir,
clarifier et faire vibrer des lignes mélodiques…
Ecouter Sébastien Paindestre et ses compagnons si bien
choisis, c'est profiter d'un beau temps sur les mouvances de
l'imaginaire".
André Francis.
"The session opener, “Le Soupirail,” has a modal, swinging quality reminiscent of a 1960s Wayne Shorter composition. It's the perfect introduction to Paindestre's modern approach. The pianist has a supple touch on the keyboard, maintaining an even flow with impressive technical control. With improvisational ideas that are at once lush and accessible, Paindestre allows for plenty of breathing room between phrases, as demonstrated on the vibrant waltz, “Un Pere Impair” and the George Gershwin ballad “Bess, You Is My Woman Now.” “Metamorphose” reveals the influence of piano legend Herbie Hancock on Paindestre—as does the inclusion of Hancock's funky classic “Tell Me a Bedtime Story.”
Oleksiak's bass playing drives each track with a forward momentum, pushing the beat with an unrelenting intensity. The bassist proves himself a strong soloist on “Je Kaje Lune.” Paganotti is a quiet force behind the drums, supporting Paindestre with inspired syncopations and steady-as-a-rock time-keeping.
Parcours is an exemplary demonstration of progressive jazz. Paindestre is an exciting pianist who succeeds at shaping the sound of his trio into a unique collective. "
John Barron (july 2008, allaboutjazz.com)
" Paindestres original compositions burn with a spontaneous, crystal
clear intensity. The delicate touch that hes developed at the piano
proves graceful. (...)Theres majesty to be found in every selection.
The pianists crisp delivery combines with his heartfelt blues
sensibility to create a lovely trio session in the true jazz spirit".
Jim Santella (all about
jazz.com, April 2006)
"The Sébastien Paindestre Trio exhibits a
lightness and youthful spontaneity sadly lacking in many American
counterparts. Ecoutez Moi is an enjoyable piano trio record, more
stylish than sophisticated. The advanced level of creative interplay
between Paindestre, drummer Antoine Paganotti, and bass player
Jean-Claude Oleksiak is equal to many historic recordings..."
David Seymour (Jazzreview.com, August 2005)
