Emmanuel Bex
Emmanuel, the French organist of best reputation, born 1959 in Caen/France, starts his
musical career at conservatories in Caen, Paris and Bordeaux. But before he finds his way
to the Hammond organ Emmanuel studies the piano and various other instruments.
In 1983, the organ definitely attracks his full devotion. Five years later he founds a trio with violin and drums, but plays also with other bands like that of Ray Lema, Gérard Pierron & Romain Didier, Hotcha and many more. Also his talents as a composer are proved, when Bex founds the quintet BEX'tet, in 1991. 1995 Emmanuel is decorated with the Django Reinhardt Award by the French Académie du Jazz.
Projects like Steel Bex (the steel drums, the national instrument of Trinidad, take the main part in this
project) and Bex Machine (the revival of the trio organ, guitar and drums in good tradition of
organists like Jimmy Smith) are initiated in 1997.
