The musicians that surrounds the petulant Irish jazz man are of the highest standtard and he leads them with style and panache.

Ausitn follows the tradition of swing jazz and is influenced by Harry Connick Jr, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and pianists Monty Alexander, Oscar Peterson and Omar Sosa, strong personalities and major players, according to Austin, they all have a great sense of music and showmanship.

There is no shortage of ambition with his various formations: trio, quartet, quintet. But above all Austin is a jazzman showman and a real entertainer, a man driven by the desire to succed and his vital energy "the spirit of the fighting irish" that always surprises his public.

JAZZ : Boussaguet, Ceccarelli, Terraza et …Austin O’Brien : ce 13 décembre, à la Halle aux Grains.

De l’exigence…et des racines carrés

Ca se passera donc ce dimanche 13 décembre, à la Halle aux Grains. Et ce n’est pas galvauder les mots que de parler de concert événement à Bagnères . Parce que sur scène, c’est bien le top du jazz en France qui sera là avec Austin O’Brien pour former The Impossible Dream Quartet. André Ceccarelli à la batterie ? Dee Dee Bridgewater, Bireli Lagrene, entre autres, sur le CV, côté tournées ou studio, ça vous dit ? Quant à Pierre Boussaguet…Petit souvenir personnel pour resituer…C’était en 1992, à Eauze. Un festival qui, cet été-là, réunissait un duo de contrebassistes fleurant bon la légende du jazz…Ray Brown et Pierre Boussaguet, un mythe et son disciple, en quelque sorte, à l’époque. Ray Brown ? Celui qui avait joué avec Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell…l’ex-mari d’Ella Fitzgerald, même…Pierre Boussaguet ? Le jeuneAlbigeois qu’il adoubait.
