About album
Kaveriot Korridor is the debut album by French trumpeter Jean-Baptiste Rousseaux.

The album features Rousseaux in a trio with Konrad Waldert on bass and Gianbattista Di Genio on drums, with Canadian guitarist Alex Goodman—one of the leading figures of today’s New York jazz scene—appearing as a guest on two tracks.

The album will be available on CD and digital download/streaming from April 24, 2026, distributed by Naxos, Galileo Music, and Believe Digital. The release will be preceded by the singles Airegin (April 10, 2026) and Duo Grave alla Rava (April 17, 2026).

Despite his young age, Rousseaux has already received significant international recognition. He was a finalist at Jazz Comp Graz in 2024, and in 2025 he received two DownBeat Student Music Awards for his compositions in both the Large Ensemble and Small Ensemble categories. The same year he was awarded third prize in the Jazz Division of the Ryan Anthony Memorial Trumpet Competition in Salt Lake City. With the trio featured on this recording, he also won First Prize at the 11th Swiss International Music Competition in Lugano, a distinction that further confirmed the ensemble’s artistic chemistry.

Reviews:

"Belle découverte que ce premier album de Jean-Baptiste Rousseaux. Ce jeune Français a bénéficié d’une double formation classique et jazz qui lui a permis de découvrir les subtilités de l’écriture orchestrale et d’assimiler les différentes facettes de l’improvisation.(..)Il énonce des phrases d’une fluidité que n’aurait pas reniée Wes Montgomery et la clarté de son toucher tend à rehausser l’alliage sonore du trio. Kaveriot Korridor s’impose comme une révélation dans le panorama du jazz contemporain, il faut désormais compter avec la voix unique de Jean-Baptiste Rousseaux."

- Mario Borroni - Citizen Jazz (France)

"For a debut album, Kaveriot Korridor displays remarkable maturity. Jean-Baptiste Rousseaux reveals himself not merely as a gifted trumpeter but as a composer with a clear narrative vision. His music moves naturally between jazz tradition, classical sensibility, and poetic imagination. What emerges from this recording is the sense of a musician already walking confidently through his own corridor of ideas—one where memories, stories, and sounds resonate together. If this album represents the beginning of that journey, it is a beginning filled with promise. "

- Spencer Tarvis

"Il lavoro stupisce per la grande maturità espressiva del giovane transalpino, sia come trombettista che come compositore e band-leader; Korridor Korridor sembra il disco di un veterano alla testa di un gruppo straordinariamente coeso, un trio senza strumento armonico dove alla tromba del leader si affiancano il contrabbasso di Konrad Waldert e la batteria di Gianbattista Di Genio. Un risultato davvero di altissimo livello."

- Fabrizio Versienti - Corriere del Mezzogiorno

"Un album di espesare internazionale, sospeso tra musica improvvisata e classica, attraversato da silenzi pensosi, atmosfere surreali e un intenso interplay collettivo."

- Amedeo Furfaro - Musica News

"L’interazione tra i musicisti appare governata da una sorta di telepatia accademica, dove la conoscenza profonda della storia del jazz permette di operare trasgressioni consapevoli e mai gratuite. «Kaveriot Korridor»si attesta dunque come un ecosistema autosufficiente, un corridoio sonoro dove la linearità melodica rappresenta la proiezione di un’escavazione armonica sotterranea, percepibile solo attraverso l’ascolto analitico delle risonanze tra gli attori in campo. In un panorama jazzistico spesso saturo di citazionismo autoreferenziale, Rousseaux propone una via alternativa ponendo le basi per una nuova estetica del trio contemporaneo."
