Pierre-Alexandre Petiot, a French jazz pianist, from Beaune in Burgandy, appeared at Club Bonafide on October 25th, making his New York City debut. Performing his repertoire of French pop, swing, boogie and blues, Pierre reminded his enthusiastic audience why we, as a culture, are fascinated with French jazz. His style is inspired by the French pop genre, S. Gainsbourg of the 1950’s, E. Piaf and C. Aznavour for whom he played keyboard. Check him out at the Beaune Wine Festival in Burgandy where he is the resident Musicial Director well as his gigs regularly playing for artists throughout Europe.
