VILLA PARADISO – Piano Solo
Leo Nissim, piano
Leo Nissim was born in Nice, France, in 1956, of Greek parents from
Salonica. He studied classics and received a first prize in piano and
chamber music from the conservatory. A thirst for musical opportunities
brought him to jazz, rock and African music over many years. He toured
with numerous groups, then worked as a musician, arranger and composer
with celebrated singers in the field of film music, publicity, TV and
radio. He returned to piano and composition during a tour: the result
is “Villa Paradisio”. The impressionistic climate remains
Leon Nissem’s first influence, but he also flirts with Africa,
the romantics, the Celts and pop music, the essential for him being
melodies, reflections of the Creator that animate those multiple poetic
tableaux, conceived as marvelous voyages.
