biography

Yannick Délez, pianist-composer born in Martigny, Switzerland in 1972.
Self-educated musician from a very young age, he undertakes professional studies at the Ecole de Jazz of Lausanne in 1990 where he obtains a piano diploma.

He develops a personal playing amongst many acoustic groups in Switzerland of which a duo with the saxophonist Denis Bertrand and fully dedicates himself to piano by the age of 23. He then joins the group Piano Seven (7 pianos and guests) with which he records 4 albums and plays in the biggest music halls of Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Taipei, Singapore, Beirut and Beijing among others. He participates in three creations of the group for which he composes and arranges, one of those being an original performance with 7 pianos, percussion, and brass quintet for the Swiss National Exhibition in 2002 directed by Jean-François Bovard.

The first record bearing his name is “Rouge” (Altrisuoni 2003) a piano solo album that received international acclaim. One can appreciate the particularity of his piano playing in the same time pointillist and lyric. …“based on rhythmical ostinati and a truly original technique…” (RSR La Première), “… a family of thinking favouring romantic lyricism and sophisticated harmonic choices…” (Jazzman***).

In 2004 he composes a repertoire for piano – bass clarinet – soprano saxophone and creates his own trio (Yannick Délez Trio) with Philippe Ehinger (bass clarinet) and Stefano Saccon (soprano saxophone). They are selected for the Swiss Diagonales Jazz 07.

In 2004 he also constitutes a Duo with the singer Chloé Lévy. The Chloé Lévy Yannick Délez Duo records in December 2006 his first album “Leinicha” at the Rainbow Studio in Oslo with the audio engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug. “Leinicha” receives positive feedbacks from specialised press (Jazzman****. Télérama ffff, Concerto*****).

Alongside with performing, Yannick Délez teaches piano and music theory at the Jazz and Contemporary Music School of Lausanne (EJMA) since 1992 and in the Jazz Department of the Lausanne Conservatory (CDLHEM) since 2006.
