About Edouard Brenneisen
Paris-born Edouard Brenneisen considers himself equally a guitarist and a composer. With a strong scholar background, having studied Jazz and Classical music in Paris, and on scholarship at Berklee College of Music, Edouard pursued his apprenticeship privately with such luminaries as David Liebman, Tim Miller, Lionel Loueke or Jean-Michel Pilc. He is committed to reconcile European and American Jazz aesthetics, and got a chance to expose people to his music in United States and all over Europe. Now based in NYC, he enjoys a multifaceted career as performer, composer and educator. You can listen to him hit the stage with his trio and quintet as well as various other bands.Lessons & Articles By Edouard Brenneisen
