In a career spanning several decades, jazz pianist René Urtreger (b. 1934) has played alongside some of the greatest names in jazz, including Kenny Clarke, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Stan Getz, Lester Young and Dizzy Gillespie. An emulator of Bud Powell, he caused a sensation with the HUM trio founded in 1960 with Daniel Humair and Pierre Michelot, then accompanied French chanson artists before returning to jazz with the album Récidive (1978). Thereafter, between two reunions of the trio (in 1979 and 1999), René Urtreger never stopped touring and recording with new-generation musicians. Winner of a Victoire du jazz (2000) and a Victoire de la musique for his body of work (2005), the pianist and composer was made an Officer of the Légion d'honneur in 2010.
