"The grande dame of French organists, Marie-Claire Alain recorded the complete organ music of Bach not once, not twice, but three times. This collection is the third recording, made in the late '80s and early '90s, and recorded digitally by Erato. For this version, Alain had access to restored, historic organs, including some that Bach himself would have played…"

Canadian bassist Alain Caron has proven that he's a clear equal amongst contemporaries including Miller, Matthew Garrison and Victor Wooten. When he first emerged in the early 1980s with Quebecois fusion group UZEB, it was all about chops. But gradually UZEB evolved into a mature band more comfortable with its talents.

This CD is a bass lover's dream, for it features bass duets by Alain Caron and Michel Donato, with occasional percussion. Caron contributed six songs, Donato brought in two, and the duo also plays "Django" and "A Child Is Born." The interplay between the two bassists (Caron usually plays electric while Donato is mostly on acoustic bass) is the main reason to acquire this disc. Their styles are complementary, they constantly react to each other's ideas, and the results hold one's interest throughout.

Je ne sais pas si vous avez déjà vu Alain Souchon sur scène? Si c'est le cas, ces enregistrements vous rappeleront la grâce, la subtilité et la tendresse qu'il déploie avec tant de naturel. Il faut le voir pour le croire : une frêle silhouette qui s'avance… et la magie commence. Souchon remplit la scène, vous emmène partout, il chante, il parle, il saute même, on se retrouve dans son monde, imaginaire ou réel, mais toujours poétique. Depuis près de 20 ans, beaucoup de ses chansons sont devenues de vrais classiques, indémodables.
