The Katia Labeque Band

Musical Group or Musician

Ensemble led by French pianist Katia Labeque, known for work that bridges classical and contemporary/crossover styles and for collaborations beyond the strict classical world.

From the review: Katia Labeque made her mark with her sister Marielle and moved toward alternative musical cultures through collaborations (the review cites John McLaughlin). The album Unspoken (2003) is presented in a piano-electronics-percussion format and described as difficult to categorize but rewarding; the review praises technical skill applied to exploratory goals.

The available review (antoniodeste) presents Unspoken as a hard-to-categorize, adventurous record blending piano, electronics and percussion. Katia Labeque is described as a French pianist who has worked across classical and alternative musical cultures and collaborated with notable musicians. The review praises technical skill used for exploratory, non-merely aesthetic aims.

For:Listeners of contemporary classical, piano-focused crossover and experimental music.

 "Occasionally, a touch of jazz, or a Schumannesque reminiscence, granted me a moment of relief, allowing me a temporary identification that however vanished in the soundscape that followed. It was a tenacious riddle, mocking my comprehension ability and leaving me suspended in a nameless fascination." Alessandro Baricco
