Mr Philippe Duchemin artistic talent is a fact of life, his reputation is well-established, also well-known in his intimate stylistic link with Oscar Peterson. Mr Duchemin's Trio is a tribute to the now defunct Canadian pianist. 
The genius trick lies in his overall performed program, a musical portrait of Oscar Peterson, which includes original tunes written by Philippe Duchemin himself, together with the great artistic compositions.
Philippe's compositions, as a matter of fact, refer to pianistic angles so characteristic of this "permanent chair host" of the JATP club.
One can appreciate and enjoy those tunes inspired by Bach, Oscar himself paid tribute to this classical music icone by devoting few pieces to him, or by Chopin, like "Ballade en Pologne" and inserting the welcome inspiring and fresh dose oh humour.
Finally the "piano,bass,drums" concept generates among the group, a smooth and terrific rhythmic tone.
