With the worldwide release of French Stories in 2011 on the Plus Loin disc label/Distribution Harmonia Mundi, Cedric will be performing in a trio format of Piano/Fender Rhodes/Laptop/Melodica/Speaking voice, Bass/Upright bass, and Drums/Vocals. With such heavyweight sidemen alongside this obviously prodigious talent, Cedric Hanriot is one of the hottest French jazz pianists on the scene today, and his French Stories will undoubtedly blow you away !
