简介
Pierrejean Gaucher’s first love was drawing; he took up the guitar at age 16. After finishing high school, he decided to pursue a career in music and studied for some time at the Berklee School in Boston in 1981. He then returned to France and concentrated exclusively on his group, Abus Dangereux. The band shortened its name to Abus in 1986 and paved the way for the French scene, making 8 albums and giving more than 400 concerts in France and abroad. Many illustrious musicians crossed paths with Abus, among them Randy Brecker, Robert Thomas Jr. Bobby Rangell, Stéphane Belmondo, Olivier Hutman, Etienne Mappé, Benot Moerlen... Pierrejean Gaucher has also made recordings for various artists (most notably with the Uzeb rhythm section). His extensive composing for Abus, and various commissions (theater, contemporary music, dance) led him to create the television theme music to Philippe Adler’s &Jazz 6& in 1987. In 1992, he formed the New Trio with drummer André Charlier and bass player Daniel Yvinec. Their two albums were praised throughout the music press as the most original projects of the moment. In 1994, at the request of French festivals, the New Trio became a quintet and paid homage to Frank Zappa, who had passed away the year before. The project, entitled &Zappe Zappa&, tours regularly today and attracts an audience that largely surpasses the regular jazz following. A live CD of this band was released in March of 1998. In 2000, he records and tours with his Phileas Band. The duo with the french guitar player Christophe Godin (2G) starts in 2002. In 2005, he creates his new musical adventure : The Fontaine's fables. He is also widely involved in the area of teaching, giving classes at various French schools (such as the CMDL of Didier Lockwood or the M.A.I. in Nancy). He released a video on the subject of improvisation and a project book on triads in the Spring of 1997. In 1999, french pianist Daniel Goyone asks him to participate to a book about the rhythm study. In 2004, he writes the &Guitaristes& book.
