PRESS

" Denis Badault, pianist, director, is a musician as it would be necessary some more : cultivated, inventive and completely deprived of spirit of serious. You will be impressed by this happy strapping man with heating vitality. " Michel Contat / TELERAMA

" Under the fingers of Denis Badault, the piano takes finally a depth singing, or thundering, or explosive, or all that at the same time, in a kind of tutti which you désopile the liver and brain. "
Jacques Réda / JAZZ MAGAZINE

" With Denis Badault, it is the exubérance and the hedonism which prevail, in a very direct music which sacrifices the precision by no means nor the invention "
Xavier Prevost / JAZZ MAGAZINE, RADIO-FRANCE

" On the standards as on the compositions, to make laugh the piano of all its teeth without never losing the control of the requirement: it is what Denis Badault wanted to combine, with freshness virtuoso of the pianist and the dishevelled wisdom of the head of orchestra. "
Franck Bergerot / LE MONDE DE LA MUSIQUE
