Profile Information
- Where are you located?
- Brussels - Belgium
- Tell us a little about your background...
- I am a french composer-musician-producer of afro-jazz.
I was born in Paris then moved to Brussels. I started playing guitar when I was 15 and went through a serie of styles ranging from folk-music to jazz before I found my own brew of jazz which is heavily influenced by the musics from Africa.
I have produced and played in several CD's for african artists. I produced my first afro-jazz CD in 2006 : 'Muzungu' (this means the white man in swahili) which is based on traditional rhythms from Central Africa (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi).
I have now finished my 2nd CD 'Xelu Sowu' (this means 'The Spirit of the West' in wolof, a senegalese language) which is mainly inspired by western african music from Senegal, Mali and the mandingo area with some brazilian touches.

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Barbara Carroll On Piano Jazz
Pianist and singer Barbara Carroll was host Marian McPartland's second guest during the first season of Piano Jazz. Thirty years later, Carroll makes a return appearance to reminisce with her friend about their experiences at the Hickory House and the Oak Room. Carroll gives a charming performance of "Very Early" and McPartland improvises a musical portrait of her guest.Duke Ellington: Highlights Of His Twilight
The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.Chris Potter Quartet On JazzSet
At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
