Aaron Strumann

Aaron Sorkin grew up in Scarsdale, a suburb of New York City where he was very involved in his high school drama and theater club. After graduating from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater, Sorkin intended to pursue a career in acting. It took him only a short time to realize that his true love, and his true talent, lay in writing.

Sous le nom d’AaRON, le parolier de langue anglaise Simon Buret accompagné d'Olivier Coursier, compositeur, sont devenus célèbres en 2006 quand leurs chansons « U-Turn (Lili) » et « Mister K » ont été utilisées pour la bande originale de l'énorme succès « Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas », Buret ayant passé une démo au réalisateur Philippe Lioret à l'occasion d'une audition pour un second rôle. Après le succès du film, « U-Turn » est devenu un petit phénomène sur Internet, à la suite de quoi le duo a sorti son premier album en 2007. Avec des textes autobiographiques, un son rock éthéré quelque part entre Tom McRae et Keane, et une reprise plaintive de « Strange Fruit », l'album s’est classé numéro huit des charts français.

Was soul music better before? No!" answers Aaron Frazer's first album.

For Aaron Neville, the impact of Hurricane Katrina could only be expressed through music, specifically on songs that are uplifting, meaningful, and close to the heart. Bring It on Home…The Soul Classics is about recovery: a positive response not only to the natural disaster of the hurricane, but undoubtedly to the blasé attitude about it from the federal government.

Aaron has performed with some of the world's top symphonies including the New York Philharmonic, the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra at Masada.

In the decade between Invisible Cinema, his 2008 Blue Note debut, and Little Big, an intentional sequel, pianist and composer Aaron Parks has covered a lot of ground. He cut two leader dates for ECM (one solo, one trio), and two as a member of the active James Farm collective on Nonesuch. In addition, Parks has worked as a sideman too, playing live and on recordings with more than a dozen artists including Kurt Rosenwinkel, Yeahwon Shin, and Gilad Heckselman. Little Big is the self-titled debut from his electric quartet with guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist David Ginyard, and drummer Tommy Crane. The album shares its title with the 1981 award-winning fantasy novel by John Crowley. This 15-song set is the proper sequel to Invisible Cinema. Few artists in 2008 were bridging the aesthetics of post-bop jazz, hip-hop, and indie rock, let alone articulating them in a single compositional voice. Here Parks continues to create episodic, accessible, yet mysterious melodies, framed by layered textures, rock dynamics, and electro-acoustic atmospherics amid shifting harmonic narratives and solos.
