« Take This » is Jacky Terrasson’s first album under the prestigious Impulse! Label. In this recording, Jacky reveals every facet of his inspiration in a meandering conversation between post-bop, pop, hip-hop, African, Caribean, and even classical music. With an eclectic line-up featuring American bass player Burniss Travis (Ambrose Akinmusire, Robert Glasper, Q-Tip, Mos Def, Marc Cary), Cuban drummer Lukmil Perez (Tito Puente, Giovanni Mirabassi), Malian percussionist Adama Diarra (Dee Dee Bridgewater, Salif Keita, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Toumani Diabaté) and French human beat box virtuoso Sly Johnson (ex Saian Super Crew, Camille, Eric Truffaz), Jacky Terrasson has opted for a versatile, multifarious approach that exemplifies the protean nature of jazz while retaining its afro-american legacy. Under the artistic direction of Jean-Phillipe Allard, one of the best jazz producers of these last 3 decades (Charlie Haden, Randy Weston, Abbey Lincoln, Stan Getz, Ornette Coleman).

For this special launch concert of his new album « Take This », Jacky Terrasson has invited some close friends to join him on the stage of the Olympia: vocal sensation and, like Jacky, winner of the prestigious Monk Competition  Cecile McLorin Salvant (first discovered on Jacky’s previous album « Gouache », in a very original rendition of John Lennon’s “Oh My Love”), his lifelong friend and musical accomplice trumpeter Stéphane Belmondo (Jacky’s regular duet partner), and fantastic Brasilian guitarist and singer Marcio Faraco.

Jacky Terrasson has been hailed by the New York Times magazine as « one of the 30 artists most likely to change American culture in the next 30 years ». French weekly Télérama described him as the most widely travelled of all jazz pianists, “a piano player of exhilarating happiness, one who can play his audiences straight to euphoria”.  To learn more about Jacky Terrasson: http://jackyterrasson.com

The Impulse! label
2014 was a year of renaissance for the Impulse! label to which jazz music owes so much. Building on the legacy left by John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson, Pharoah Sanders and Chico Hamilton, Impulse! is reaching out to discover new frontiers. In 2015, the legendary label will record albums with Jacky Terrasson (Take This), Indra Rios-Moore (Heartland) et Snarky Puppy with the Metropole Orkest (Sylva), as well as the D-STRINGZ trio (Jean-Luc Ponty/Stanley Clarke/Biréli Lagrène) and many more renowned or new artists. That’s the impulse!
