Mallet

Though based in multiple musical realms, pianist Alain Mallet's ambitious Mutt Slang projects coalesce into a world that exudes 'exotic' yet ultimately feels familiar, the roots of its various components meeting somewhere deep within. Sharing the musical landscape with young musicians from Palestine, Brazil, Italy, Israel, Japan, Bulgaria, Panama, Ireland, Puerto Rico and the US, the complexity of their backgrounds - musically, ethnically, and otherwise, permeates the session, suffusing Mallet's compositions with an undeniable energy and life. "Mutt Slang is very much the result of this convergence of all the musics I love, of digging to get to their shared soul and rebuild something fresh, in order to discover where I belong and give others a chance to do the same." - Alain Mallet

« Un écrivain qui reçoit un prix littéraire est déshonoré. » - Paul Léautaud
Ce fut un événement important que d’entendre à la radio, sur « le poste parisien », de décembre 1950 à juillet 1951, les entretiens entre Paul Léautaud et Robert Mallet. Paul Léautaud avait près de soixante-dix-huit ans. Entré très jeune aux éditions Mercure de France, il y restera jusqu’à sa retraite, écrivain peu connu alors. …
