Colin Vallon

We look forward to welcoming back the virtuoso Swiss jazz pianist Colin Vallon. In 2011 he accompanied Elina Duni during her performances at the festival. Now he gives a solo concert in the set of Martin Zimmermann’s piece «Hallo», for which he has composed the music. Vallon epitomises jazz, extemporising again and again in astonishing and masterly ways. The French music journalist Arnaud Robert has said about him: «His real genius lies in telling simple stories without having to use an entire dictionary.» (ron)
