Serge Forté controls the alchemy which heats the hearts.... (JAZZMAN)

 

Serge Forté plays in a climate of inspiration and respiration. Chopin’s soul is not interpreted, revisited, or not copied - it is sublimated with the exact and relative definition of the dictionary: "to distil the volatile elements". (Franck Ténot)

 

 

...If jazz proves one thing throughout its historical journey, it’s that the tragedy lies, when that which is unleashed is not experienced. Serge Forté is an experience one should grasp, and often. His ivory “Take the A-Train” is nothing less than meticulousness musicianship ; for his implementation of his Oscar Peterson influence, has a very precise vision. Forte seeds the dramatic flair of his 2008 tribute release from Ella Productions Oscar, by offering an honoring perspective to jazz icon,

Oscar Peterson. (Karl Stober)

 

Serge Forte signs a new opus where the music of his amazing trio goes straight to the source of some songs from our national heritage. (La Terrasse)

 

The end of “La chanson des vieux Amants” (Brel) played as a piano solo testifies to the happy influence of Keith Jarrett's Köln Concert. The orchestral material is developed in the medium and twists around the harmonies of the French standard.
