SÉBASTIEN GINIAUX – guitar, cello
Born in 1981, Sébastien is a guitarist, cellist, composer, arranger and painter. He began playing the cello at the age of six at the Bourg-la-Reine conservatory, then continued his classical music training at the conservatories of Boulogne and Aubervilliers-la Courneuve. At the age of eighteen, he took up the guitar and learned the instrument on his own. His first influence was the music of Django Reinhardt, to which he soon added the more contemporary currents of jazz, Balkan music, West African music, improvised music. Today, Sébastien Giniaux is one of the leading representatives of French jazz guitar, internationally recognized as one of the great interpreters of gypsy jazz. Regularly signing musical projects under his name (Mélodie des Choses, African Variations …), he also collaborates in many projects such as the trio “New York Tango” of Richard Galliano or the gypsy jazz collective “Selmer #607”. Also pursuing a work of painter (exhibition “Vie Moderne” of thirty-five paintings at Frémeaux et associés in September 2014) he tries to apprehend the different artistic practices in the sense of meeting, dialogue and poetry. Sébastien can be found on some thirty records, on guitar or cello, as a performer or composer/arranger, and he has been heard on stage alongside Youssou N’dour, Taraf de Haidouks, Toumani Diabaté, Yamandu Costa, Biréli Lagrène, Didier Lockwood, Anne Sila, Stochelo Rosenberg, Guillaume Galienne.
