Lorenzo Naccarato Trio

Lorenzo Naccarato (Piano)

After studying classical piano for ten years, Lorenzo Naccarato starts a musicology curriculum at Toulouse university in 2007. With a specialization in jazz and improvised music, he conducts a research project around Thelonious Monk and participates in master classes under the supervision of Laurent Cugny, Franck Avitabile, Kenny Barron, Enrico Pieranunzi and Claude Tchamitchian, whose influence will be decisive in his approach to composition and ensemble playing.

Benjamin Naud (Drums)

After a bachelor's degree in classical musicology, Benjamin Naud enters the jazz section of Toulouse conservatoire in 2007 to study drums. He participates in improvisation workshops by Richard Calléja and then completes his studies with Christian Salut, at the Dante Agostini school. Between 2009 and 2012, he's the drummer of the blues band Mannish Boys and as such gives more than 150 concerts in Europe.

Adrien Rodriguez (Bass)

Initially a bassist, he studies classical double bass at Toulouse conservatoire and gets his third-cycle degree with honors. He, therefore, decides to major in jazz musicology at the university. At the same time, he collaborates to current music projects by the band Zèbre (ex-Pauvres Martins). He also participates in 'ciné-concerts' (movie + live music) with Raphael Howson at the Cinémathèque de Toulouse.
