Enzo Carniel is a French pianist born in 1987. He began studying classical piano and discovered jazz during adolescence. After 5 years of Medicine at the Faculty of Marseille, he decided to devote himself entirely to Jazz music. He joined the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique Paris (CNSMDP) in 2010. In June 2015, he won the CNSMDP first prize and the “generative improvisation prize”. His research and all his collaborations give rise to the quartet "House of Echo" where long improvised pieces and compositions are mixed.
Influenced by Paul Bley, Thelonious Monk, Keith Jarrett, and the great jazz pianists, he tries to explore the palettes and intrinsic possibilities of the piano. His approach is based on the birth in the present moment of musical ideas, in non-aesthetic judgment, a "raw" approach to improvisation using all his influences and sensations. In 2014, in collaboration with the NoMadMusic label, he recorded his first solo piano record called Erosions. On the first of September 2017, the second album of his quartet House of Echo, Echoides, is released on the French Label Jazz & People. The record is acclaimed by the press and the media. The group is touring all around the world during the year 2019 (New York, Montreal, Budapest, Berlin, France...etc).
The 3rd of April 2020 , his new record WALLSDOWN is released.
It presents a music from the future, created to open all the borders.
ARIA, the first album of "Silent room", his duet with the Italian trombone player Filippo Vignato will be released on April, 16th, 2021.
