Jean-Pierre Bertrand and Frank Muschalle form one of the most outstanding duets of Jazz & Boogie pianos in Europe. Similar to the famous pianists Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson who performed together in the USA in the 1940s, they concoct on stage two pianos, the recipe for a direct, moving and warm jazz. Frank Muschalle, born in Germany in 1969, practiced classical piano for 11 years. He made himself known quickly thanks to the recording of several exceptional CDs in piano solo or trio. He made piano boogie woogie a specialty he mastered perfectly, introducing in his game the necessary nuances and melodious colors of personal compositions or themes of the greatest pianists like Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson or Meade Lux Lewis. Jean-Pierre Bertrand was born in 1955 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye where he studied classical piano at the Conservatoire during 6 years old. He discovers the Boogie Woogie at the age of 14 to listen to a record of Memphis Slim. After having held a restaurant-club of Jazz in Paris during 7 years, he decided in 1990 to become a professional pianist and organizer of show. Head of file of European pianists, he has a very great sense of the improvisation, makes to swing his piano With an ardor and a passion communicative. Inspired by the greatest: Sammy Price, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Albert Ammons, he colors his set of elegant personal touches by mixing the boogie with neighboring styles like Gospel or Ragtime. Jean-Pierre Bertrand and Frank Muschalle arrange on two pianos the classic themes of the Boogie Woogie and the Blues, complementing each other in a rare and perfectly harmonious way. They also revisit some of the great themes of jazz and thus offer their audience a repertoire of great diversity.
