Onze chansons de Serge Gainsbourg refont surface au Québec sous forme de duos et pourraient même mener à un spectacle inspiré par l'oeuvre de l'enfant terrible de la musique française. Question de souligner le fait que Gainsbourg aurait franchi le cap des 80 ans s'il était encore vivant, le groupe Avec Musique a lancé l'idée d'un album de duos formés du chanteur d'origine française Stéphane Lucas et de 10 québécoises connues, chanteuses professionnelles ou non. Les interprètes Marie Carmen, Patsy Gallant, Caroline Néron, Mélanie Renaud et Julie Salvador, ont accepté de revisiter des incontournables de Gainsbourg, des chansons du début des années 1960.
French acoustic gypsy music inspired by the greatest guitarist of all times: Django Reinhardt. 2001: Stephane Wrembel records his first album in 4 hours. 2010: He goes back into the studio for three days with Dave Speranza on bass and Koran Hasanagic on guitar. Same playlist. Different players. Different sounds. Nine years of growth.
"One of several fine live dates recorded in the twilight of Stephane Grappelli's long career, this concert has few surprises. The repertoire is fairly standard for the violinist, accompanied by the always enjoyable guitarist Marc Fossett, bassist Jean-Philippe Viret, with the trio occasionally augmented by accordion player Marcel Azzola. (…) One can never have enough Stephane Grappelli, especially on stage." ~allmusic
This Grappelli box set bringing together 37 titles, including 23 previously unreleased, celebrates the violinist's friendship with the pianist, composer, arranger and conductor Gérard Gustin. A first album, entirely unpublished, produced by Sacha Distel in 1970, allows us to hear Stéphane in a “string” context. A setting that perfectly suits this gentleman of the violin. The two quartet sessions brought together in the second volume present another aspect of the discographic collaboration between the two men, which spanned almost ten years. As a bonus, a new unpublished quintet session from 1961, with guitarist Pierre Cullaz.
The Django Experiment is the Stephane Wrembel Band's unique way of performing the music of Django Reinhardt. A perfect blend of the original Gypsy sound with the New York City voodoo. Mainly Django's music, and a few compositions by Stephane Wrembel.
