Just after his live performance in Houston to celebrate NASA's anniversary, Jean-Michel Jarre released Rendez-Vous, an appropriately cosmic-sounding album of glittering synth pop. It consists of the same music heard at the Houston concert and shows Jarre moving closer to conventional rock territory, though still with his distinct blueprint. The final track, "Last Rendez-Vous: Ron's Piece," was composed by Jarre for astronaut Ron McNair and was intended to be the first musical piece played and recorded in space. McNair's historic duty was cut short, however, by the Challenger shuttle disaster of January 1986.
Defined by the international press as «one of Europe’s big pianistic promises», Gabriele Pezzoli present with bass virtuoso Cédric Gysler and drummer Roberto Titocci a repertoire rich in original compositions and free improvisation, in a kaleidoscopic and poetic world of sound, balanced between cohesion of the whole and individual expression.
Rendons immédiatement ce qui revient à ce trio de Québec qui a fait du jazz manouche un bonheur contagieux : il a du cran. Et du talent. Rendez-Vous Rose le prouve une fois de plus. Formé de Christian Roberge (voix et guitare), Byron Mikaloff (guitare) et Alex Morrissette (contrebasse), le groupe a été l’une des révélations du printemps dernier au Québec. Avec comme carte de visite le coloré et entraînant disque Lost in the 80’s, les trois musiciens se sont rapidement forgés une impressionnante horde de fans.
Very original group from Quebec, sort of modern "Gypsy Kings" with more humour and virtuosity. Pretty surprising in all aspects :)
