01 - Claudia Solal, Benoit Delbecq on ROGUE ART - HOPETOWN - Inner Otherness

Multi award-winning Parisian pianist, composer and producer Benoit Delbecq figures among the prominent innovators of the international contemporary jazz scene who have build their own singular language in music. He has brought the soul of jazz to John Cage's prepared piano, when The New York Times depicts him as "a brilliant and unconventional French pianist" (Chinen). -- photo by Igor Juget. 
Benoit Delbecq is a founding member of Bureau de Son, a parisian non-profit and label (dStream) for new music.
