Erik Truffaz
Erik Truffaz, the master figure in the new field of Jazz in the contemporary world, represents a microcosm of the evolution from the traditional jazz to the new modern jazz. His music, like the integration of ice and fire, delivers the romantic sentiment of calmness and enthusiasm derived from his interests in the combination of Hip-Hop and electric music. He blends jazz together with Hip-hop, rock n' roll, electronic music, which will definitely be as an 'ear-opener'.
He successively signed the famous jazz brands like Blue Note and EMI Jazz and participated three times in the famous Montreal Jazz Festival, as well as traveled in a number of countries around the world. He integrated the essence of the most classic jazz of the Miles Davis era, ethnic music elements with the most interesting Hip Hop, Drum & Bass rhythm, and created a new pattern of jazz. In 2003, the release of his latest album The Walk of the Giant Turtle under Blue Note parent company, was the interpretation of the full flavor of the rock-fusion jazz.
Marc Erbetta
Marc cooks extremely well, both sophisticated and refined dishes, or apparently ordinary dishes which he transforms and uplifts in his own way. According to Marc, cooking is like a jazz concert, there's no room for mistakes. We are on the go. We transcend structures and substance. We improvise... When 'not on tour, you can meet Marc on his boat, on a new dusty building site or with his trio The Vultures (Les Vautours). We all dream of seeing him set up his one-man show. Indeed, this man is very witty and really talented mimic. So talented that he has already been hired for an ad praising the merits of the Swiss Monopoly ! So, if your heating system, car, electricity or your inspiration breaks down, do not hesitate to contact himĄ
Patrick Muller
Patrick is secret and rascally ! While we were picturing him going down Broadway with his fender across his shoulder, the man was in Bulgaria, and more precisely in Sofia where he was recording a choir of bulgarian singers for which he had composed songs. Wilfried is Patrick's father, we dedicated a song to him. Patrick has just recorded a series of songs with his father who is a crooner with a rough and warm voice. We enjoy going around cities and the countryside together before or after the concerts. He's a good walker. He likes city smells as much as the freshness of the sky of high mountain tops
Christophe CHAMBET
Christophe Chambet was first initiated to music at the age of seven, when he started taking classic guitar courses.
He formed his first Rock band when he was only thirteen years old, in which he naturally played electric guitar.
During his adolescence, Weather Report's 'Black Market' album put an end to his child 'Guitar Hero'plans and brought him to trade his guitar for a bass.
The icon Jaco Pastorius became a great inspirational figure for him throughout his long learning period.He moved to Paris and studied at the American School of modern music.
