“Chansons d’automne” is the new album from John Greaves (vocals, piano)

This intimate trio is the perfect vehicle for songs composed by John in English and in French- poems by by Verlaine, Apollinaire and more set to music by John in a powerful and very personal style, far from the tradition of French “chansonniers” but just as endearing. Elegant music to match the exigencies of the lyrics.

It consists of 15 tracks beautifully composed and arranged by John who articulates a piano that is sometimes melancholic and sometimes rock. His inimitable sense of poetry gives his vocal interpretation unique momentum and vitality on each track. Mirabelle Gilis' violin soars to the rhythm of the narrative, supported by Laurent Valero’s magnificent viola cajoling us with poignant melodies and languid drones.
