The music material and the approach are groundbreaking.
Huge congratulations Cédric !!”

His music is surprising, moving, and irresistible.
Not to be missed!”

His wide range of abilities from playing to arranging and sound design, makes him a triple threat.”
« Cédric has shown to be a hard working professional and a team player in every musical situation he has taken part of.
He is a great talented and dedicated player and composer»
“His talent is unquestionably strong and he shows it in his fantastic improvising skills, in his fantastic sense of time and in his natural ability to reinvent harmonies of the tunes he plays”
“A fine sensibility, unparalleled interaction within his groups, a wide pianistic language, a beautiful feel, whether Cedric accompanies or improvises, evocative and sylisticaly varied compositions …
No cliché for Cédric: he feels the music, without force.
Highly recommended.”
“I was very impressed upon hearing his talent. He stood out amongst the other musicians because he was taking more chances and venturing beyond the boundaries of the typical bebop jam session style.
I’m also pleased to note his originality and scope as an artist. Aside from his diligence and its corollary skill, he possesses a marked musical originality beyond the rarity of his choice of instrument”

Cédric has something that goes beyond the instrument »

John Watson, thejazzbreakfast.com - “Hanriot is up there with Ethan Iverson; among the very top of the current crop of creative piano maestros.”
Steve Day, Sandy Brown Jazz -
“Stellar musicianship. When you listen to Cedric, then you know jazz is alive today as it was 50 years ago. Cédric breaks up what has been done and heard and move to a totally new place – but still truthful to groove, harmonic and melodic contents!!! Very, very difficult to do. Only the greatest composers reach this level.”
Paolo Montrone, Senior Vice President of Global Sea Logistics and guitarist) -
