The lyrics are very interesting, subtle and strangely refreshing. They songs stay with you, especially "Vacances d'Enfer". It is a classy blues CD with excellent harp work, low down grit (like in "Ode to Muddy"), zydeco, swing and New Orleans grooves. Also the vocal performance is probably the best that Forest has ever recorded. Having read the book "Letter From Hell" made the music all that more enjoyable. As a musician and songwriter Andy J Forest keeps getting better and he stands further and further apart from the vast reservoir of blues artists on the scene today.

The name of his project is Flèche D'Or; also the title of a Django Reinhardt composition. Whether it is Gypsy Jazz, bebop or any other style, this is where you will be able to follow his musical journey.
He picked up the guitar in his teens and after having exploring various musical styles, he discovers the music of Django Reinhardt at the age of 19. For the next few years, he would dedicate himself exclusively to the style. To date, he has performed and/or recorded with the best musicians in the style such as Ritary Gaguenetti, Aurélien Trigo, Edd la Bish, Lollo Meier, Paulus Schäfer, Stéphane Wrembel, Chriss Campion, Andreas Öberg, Fapy Lafertin, Am Ketenes, Tim Kliphuis to name a few.
He is sponsored by AJL guitars, Schatten Design, Godin Guitars, Saga Gitane Parisian strings.
Outside of Gypsy Jazz, he is heavily influenced by other forms of jazz (bebop, fusion, latin), rock/pop, blues, classical; any kind of good music!

Christophe Rousset is one of the finest and most exciting harpsichordists, and as a conductor is a leader in the late 20th century revival of French Baroque music. After studying piano as a boy, he became deeply interested in the harpsichord at the age of 13. He studied with Huguette Dreyfus at the Schola Cantorum in Paris and, from 1980 to 1983, with Bob van Asperen at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague. He won a special certificate of distinction at the Schola Cantorum and, in 1983, the first prize at the International Harpsichord Competition in Bruges.
