Geoffrey Sabba, pianiste et compositeur aux multiples facettes, défie les conventions dans sa recherche créative de mélodies captivantes et évolutives. In 2012, Geoffrey co-founded The Pickles, a funk-rock band that performed on local stages and whose work resulted in the first EP. He is currently actively translating his passion for jazz into several music projects, performing regularly with different groups as a band leader and as a sideman. Since 2018, Geoffrey is the pianist and arranger in the swing band Duke Box which regularly accompanies Lindy Hop and Blues dancers in Luxembourg and its region. Geoffrey’s style reflects his individual, dynamic expression, from progressive jazz through poetic improvised melodies to electronic tones & vibrant groovy rythms. He draws inspiration from multiple genres & styles including classical music, contemporary jazz, modern electric synthetisers and the sound of legendary Fender Rhodes.
