Christophe Marguet

 Born in 1965, he studied with Jacques Bonnardel, Michel Sardaby, Keith  Copeland, and attended workshops with Kenny Barron, David Liebman,  Richie Beirach, John Abercrombie and many others. He then played with  many musicians including Barney Wilen, Joe Lovano, Henri Texier, Joachim  Kühn, Kenny Wheeler, Michel Portal, Géraldine Laurent, Andy Sheppard,  Louis Sclavis, Steve Swallow, Enrico Rava. In 1993, he founded his own  trio with Sébastien Texier and Olivier Sens. He has performed at most of  the major jazz festivals in France and Europe and has played in many  countries abroad. He also participated in the recording of film music  for Bertrand Tavernier. A drummer marked by the jazz tradition while  having wanted and succeeded in freeing himself from it, Christophe  Marguet has made a rare and coherent journey as a musician, managing to  evolve seamlessly from his initial interest in bebop to improvised  music. Recognized as a colorist drummer, he has asserted himself as a  clear-sighted composer and leader, attentive to space and silence,  participating in a new generation of French jazzmen who are questioning  the virtues of improvisation and the relationship it can have with  writing.
