Biography
The brainchild of Belgium's most accomplished pianist, jazz outfit the Eric Legnini Trio achieved success across Europe with their acoustic take on various Great American Songbook standards. Born in Huy in 1970, Eric Legnini began playing the piano at age six and, after becoming a teacher of jazz piano at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in the '90s, teamed up with saxophonist Jacques Pelzer to record the debut album Never Let Me Go. Legnini spent the next two decades balancing his own recording career with performing with the likes of Toots Thielemans, Flavio Boltro, and Stefano di Battista before teaming up with bassist Thomas Bramerie and drummer Franck Agulhon in 2012 to record the covers album Ballads under the guise of the Eric Legnini Trio. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi
