Jazz pianist, composer and music columnist André Manoukian is a multi-faceted artist. Inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach’s algorithms, he developed a start-up called MatchTune, which synchronizes music with images.

His latest albums: Les pianos de Gainsbourg (2021), in which he pays tribute to Serge Gainsbourg by surrounding himself with female icons: Melody Gardot, Camélia Jordana, Isabelle Adjani, Rosemary Standley, Camille Lellouche and Elodie Frégé; and Anouch (2022), a musical journey to the Orient of his ancestors.

His latest book : On the Jazz Roads (2022), Harper Collins.
