Adrien Brandeis

Event information

ADRIEN BRANDEIS is a french jazz pianist and composer (Annecy, 1992) graduated from the conservatory of Paris.

In 2017, he produced his first album "Euforia", which had great recognition and international success. "Euforia" put Adrien Brandeis, in the spotlight of the Jazz scene, and led him to be awarded the prestigious Letter One Rising Stars Jazz Award 2018.

In 2020, he wrote his second album "Meetings", in quartet. It allows him to move towards a more modern and fresh sound.

This album was selected by TSF Jazz Radio as Top 10 Best jazz albums in France.

In 2022, he released in quartet "Siempre más allá" recorded in Mexico. It represents Adrien's personal tribute to Mexico. In November 2022, he awarded the UNAC Grand Prize for New Jazz Talent 2022.

After this fruitful experience, he returned to France at the beginning of 2024 and formed a band with the Guadeloupean drummer Arnaud Dolmen (featured on 'Meetings'), joined by the Cuban (and Parisian) double bass player Felipe Cabrera and two of his compatriots on percussion: Abraham Mansfarroll or Yaroldy Abreu (depending on the track). It's a quartet that adopts different instrumental formulas as the tracks progress (piano/percussion duo, piano/bass/drums trio or quintet with the two percussionists).

In May 2025, he released his fourth album, “RESURGENCE”, marking his return to the French and European scene.  A record that astonishes us with its musical maturity, scope, intensity and diversity. A project served up with deep, demanding compositions, performed with a delightful musical expressiveness in a firework of rhythms (cha-cha-cha, guaguancó, merengue, samba...), carried by powerful melodies and a wealth of harmonies.

Seeking new challenges, he was laureate of the 21st edition of the Film Music Composition Competition: Music for Short Films, 2025.

At 33, Adrien Brandeis has already presented his music at some of Europe's biggest jazz festivals (Nice Jazz Festival -France, Umbria Jazz Festival -Italy), also in Asia (Jazzmandu - Nepal, Kolkata International Jazz Festival -India, Blue Note, Shanghai and Beijing -China), and in North America (Zacatecas Jazz Festival, Polanco Jazz Festival, Irapuato Jazz Festival, Festival de Música de Morelia -México; San Jose Jazz Festival -USA).
