Trumpeter, composer and arranger Airelle Besson has made a name for herself on the European jazz scene with her clear and powerful playing. Virtuoso but never too demonstrative, her sound centres on emotion and musicality. Trained in both classical and jazz fields, her major influences are Bach and Keith Jarrett.

Winner of the Django-Reinhardt Prize of the Académie du Jazz and awarded the Victoires du Jazz in the ‘French Instrumental Revelation of the Year’ category, Airelle Besson is as much a sought-after side-woman as well as a leader and an established composer.
