Alain Métrailler

Description

Alain Métrailler is a Swiss saxophonist and composer whose expressive music is influenced by contemporary jazz. Hailing from Chalais, he was a recipient of the "Madeleine Dubuis" scholarship and joined the vibrant New York jazz scene in 2019. There, he spent six years refining his artistic vision and particularly engaged in exchanges with composer and saxophonist Ohad Talmor. His first album, "Heights Prospection," solidifies his musical identity and is also a tribute to the musicians who shaped him, as well as to Prospect Heights, the Brooklyn neighborhood that embraced him. Three musicians will accompany him: Eric McPherson, raised in New York and surrounded by music from a young age, started learning drums at 12 and performed with the renowned saxophonist Jackie McLean for 15 years. Elias Stemeseder, a pianist and electronic music performer born in Austria before moving to Brooklyn, has contributed to over 30 albums, including four with the Jim Black Trio, and has performed at various jazz festivals and events. Fabien Iannone, a double bassist, bassist, and composer from Valais, moved to New York in 2012 for musical reasons and had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned musicians like Ben Street and Sophia Rosoff and learn from them.
