Laurent Delteil

Laurent Voulzy (born Lucien Voulzy on December 18, 1948 in Paris, France) is a French singer and composer. Voulzy originally led the English-pop-influenced Le Temple de Vénus before joining Pascal Danel as guitarist from 1969 to 1974. However, he is best known for his collaborative songwriting efforts with singer/songwriter Alain Souchon and his solo singing career, which spanned several successful albums. Voulzy had an international hit with the song Rockollection. The French lyrics were interspersed with some lines from classic rock hits after the chorus. His major French hits also include 'Le Soleil Donne' - sung in French, English and Spanish - and 'Les Nuits Sans Kim Wilde' ('Nights without Kim Wilde'), inspired by the chart-topping English singer.

The French born Coq has been an important name in the world of jazz in both Europe and the United States for nearly two decades. His work has traversed the realm of the tradition yet continues to push boundaries. His latest recording – Dialogue highlights Coq’s unique disposition as he echoes sonorities from jazz’s past while showcasing future talents and creating a unique blend of jazz and West Indian musical styles. Coq has long been fascinated by the possibility and the challenges of performing piano alongside guitar, but the similarities in range, sound, and chording create numerous challenges. The legendary duos of pianist Bill Evans and guitarist Jim Hall are perfect examples of the beauty that can be achieved and stand as the standard as to what can be accomplished.

Mélanie Laurent est une chanteuse et c'est une évidence. Une évidence qui apparaît au grand jour pour tous ceux qui découvrent son premier album, « En t'attendant ». « En t’attendant » raconte une histoire où l’on parle beaucoup d’amour, en conciliant chanson française - avec des accents que ne renierait pas Marie Laforêt - et souffle lyrique façon Arcade Fire. Melanie Laurent released her debut record on May 2 in France and Belgium through Atmospheriques / Pias. Damien Rice has co-written and produced five songs for Melanie, while Joel Shearer has produced five other songs.

Si vous vous posez la question de savoir si le jazz a une identité, à l’heure où l’on entend des musiques où tout est mélangé, matinées de rock, de pop et de world avec l’ultime argument que vous assènent leurs défenseurs « on s’en fout si c’est du jazz ou pas ! », Laurent Fickelson lui, offre un démenti clair, net sans bavure : oui la jazz à une identité et je vais vous le démontrer.

Au carrefour des musiques écrites et improvisées, Laurent Bonnot nous dévoile, dans son troisième album en leader, son amour pour le métissage à travers un univers qui lui tient particulièrement à coeur, le mélange de ses influences avec comme aboutissement une musique unique et novatrice. Contrepoint, métriques impaires, science harmonique sont au service d’un langage musical très personnel et original que l'on aurait peine à rattacher à une quelconque école.

Laurent Marode has the art of setting the scene, of creating an atmosphere. The proof was given in 2017 with ‘This way please’ (Black & Blue / Socadisc), evoking the double passion of the pianist-composer for jazz and cinema. It comes back to us with almost the same formation –Luigi Grasso giving way to Pablo Arias on the viola-, a nonet which is not without reminding us of the groups of the 50s of the West Coast. The vibraphone and the flute do not are no strangers to this sonic color suitable to seduce sensitive ears and hearts.

Inspired, innovative new jazz francaise from a man who is trying to fuse traditional elements with future technologies. In tune with the internet age in which his music evolves even further.
