Paris-born Pierre HUREL's musical talents were first discovered and nurtured by Paris Jazz Conservatory's former director and founder, Charles Henry. HUREL moved to the United States in the mid-eightees to continue his advanced studies and then graduated from the Berklee College of Music in 1989. He has also studied privately with Charlie Banacos, one of Boston's most well-known improvisational music teachers.
HUREL performs internationally at the Toulon and Nice Jazz Festivals. In 1992 HUREL opened for jazz legend Chick Corea, at the Toulon Jazz Festival, where both Jazz Hot and Jazz Magazine hailed him as "the jazz discovery of the year."
Nationally, HUREL performs in New York and Boston, including shows at the Knickerbocker in New York City, the French Library in Boston, and the L'Air du temps, the international music festival in and around Boston. His second CD, What I'm Thinking About , features the Pierre HUREL Trio, with Jerzy Glod on drums and Jonathan Robinson on acoustic bass. The trio will be pereforming at the Regattabar on Wednesday, September 30, and again during L'Air du temps.
