Fabrice Tarel
musical career began with the violin at the age of 7, to which the piano was added shortly afterwards. His early interest in composition intensified over the years, allowing him to gradually develop a sonic universe of great individuality.

He graduated from Leeds College of Music in England, after residing in UK from 2004 to 2007. He studied with the iconoclastic virtuoso Matthew Bourne and attended master classes with Dave Liebman and Jerry Bergonzi. He continues to maintain links with this country, particularly with the London scene, which is currently generating an exceptional dynamic.

Thanks to these experiences, Tarel's international collaborations continue with saxophonists Tom Harrison, Riley Stone-Lonergan and Tom Barford and also with the British drummer Andy Barron, but who has been living in France for many years.

Fabrice Tarel has performed on many stages to date : Jazz à Vienne, The Vortex (London), The Sunset (Paris), Medien Campus Villa (Leipzig), at AGMJ and the UN (Geneva), Festival Lumières, Jazz en Touraine, Jazz à Junas, Rhino Jazz, Jazz aux Carrés, Jazz'Alès, Le Crescent, Jazz à Val Thorens, Lac in Blue Festival (Annecy), Le Jam, Le Havre Summer Festival, at the Grande Halle d'Auvergne, the Auditorium of the Würth Museum, or at the Opera of Lyon…

He has recorded various albums, including four trio albums.

Fabrice Tarel's career is marked by encounters with groups and artists from various backgrounds, including Stéphane Guillaume, Tim Giles, Nacim Brahimi, Gil Lachenal, Bruno Tocanne, Percy Pursglove, Adrian Ingram, Krzysztof Majchrzak, Marc Michel and Anne Sila.

Fabrice Tarel Trio
Created at the end of 2006 in England, the Fabrice Tarel Trio has developed a very personal sonic universe through the years. The sound landscapes follow one another naturally in compositions skillfully balanced between writing and improvisation. A great intensity emanates from this trio, with many contrasting colours. Some passages are hypnotic, punctuated by haunting ostinatos, while others are more intimate, revealing themselves with sensitivity and simplicity. Among the musicians, there is a strong bond, the personnel constantly striving to serve the identity of the group, on a musical journey of great poetry.
