Jonathan Turgeon
piano
Jonathan is renowned for his modern, groove-driven music, marked by jazz, rock and classical influences. He is making a name for himself as a composer with his creative albums, “Au fil des feuilles qui craquent” (2015), “Les rêves errant” (2017), “Jonction” (2018) and “L’abîme” (2021). Noted for his creativity and dexterity, he combines a solid mastery of tradition with a classical background and a willingness to break down the boundaries between styles, while asserting a highly personal identity through his compositions. As an accompanist, Jonathan collaborates on a variety of projects, including “Charbonneau Ou Les Valeurs À Bonne Place, Volume 1 (2018) and 2 (2022)” and Gazoline’s latest album, “Gazoline III” (2021).
