HDR Project Trio at Le Melville

Led by bassist and composer Hervé de Ratuld, the HDR Project Trio brings a distinctive blend of jazz, funk, and electro to Le Melville in Paris. The trio features trumpeter Nicolas Genest and pianist Ian Aledji, both seasoned musicians with impressive international credits. Their performance showcases original compositions that are modal, airy, and cinematic, with a subtle electronic touch that invites the audience on a musical journey.

The evening offers an intimate concert experience in the 8th arrondissement, where the trio's interplay and improvisation take center stage. De Ratuld's background—from classical piano to bass and double bass, and his work with artists like Ronny Jordan and Cerrone—infuses the project with a worldly sensibility. The trio's debut album, recorded with Genest and Aledji, is set for release in September 2026, making this concert a chance to hear fresh material in a live setting.
