In 2007 he releases his first CD, 'Imprinting', with Attilio Zanchi (double bass) and Marco Castiglioni (drums). This work has received excellent reviews and showed his skills both as a pianist and as a composer: all the tracks of the CD are written by Chebat, who choose the traditional acoustic trio as the best way to perform his music With Gianni Satta (trumpet), Francesco founded the band “Tutu” inspired by the famous Miles Davis's album. With “Tutu trio” Francesco plays synthesizers and the sound of this trio is full of electric influences. A new album is coming soon. He works with vocalist Martha J. as pianist and arranger. In 2008, they produced and released two CDs: “That’s it” (with Roberto Piccolo on double bass and Stefano Bertoli on drums) and “No one but you” (voice and piano). Both CDs have gained very good reviews both in Italy and abroad: “…a real revelation… a first class rating and even the song “Sophisticated Lady” alone makes it worth buying it.” Giuseppe Candiano – TGcom “…she is a romantic and intimate singer, in a confidential vis ? vis with Chebat, one of her most skilled and sensitive partners.” Bruno Schiozzi – Musica Jazz “This album expresses clearly also Francesco Chebat's talent: Chebat is able to show al the skill requested by great jazz…” Elio Marracci – Jazzitalia.net (info: www.marthaj.it) He recently started a collaboration with JW Orchestra, directed by saxophonist Marco Gotti, for the recordings of a new CD that will be published soon.He is also the pianist of sax player Beppe Aliprandi’s “Blue Totem”, aproject where jazz standards meet ethno-music from Africa andMiddle-East: the result is a different point of view to renew the tradition. He approached Argentina and its culture first with 'Café con Pan', with actor Valerio Bongiorno, then in 'Storie di Tango ensemble' with Martha J. and Daniele Donadelli (accordeon).
