L’or
de
l’instant is the capstone and title of this new
album, was inspired by Albert CAMUS’ “Myth of Sisyphus” - • “Peinture hongroise”
is dedicated to the painter, Tivadar CSONTVARY -
• “Etrange
mélancolie”, written with Georges MOUSTAKI, will be the first
single along with “Ma libido”, a reggae with a rather
humorous message… • “Alfred” is an homage
to Alfred Jarry
-
• “Les Bosses dans le
jardin” references Italian novelist Dino BUZZATI - • “Le Jardin suspendu”
composed when the singer was on tour in Angola and G.W. Bush was
deciding to invade Iraq…
Ten songs, outside of norms and fashions, which confirm the remarkable
qualities of the singer as
an author and composer. After having conceived the arrangements and
taking charge
of
the acoustic guitars, he gathered around him his faithful musician
friends who, impressed to a man by
his compositions, dove into the project with passion:
the
American soprano saxophonist, Billy DREWES (Village Vanguard Jazz
Orchestra, Randy BRECKER…), Sylvin
MARC, Tony REBESON, Pierre CHÉRÈZE, Jean-Philippe
AUDIN,
Christophe GUIOT, Roland
ROMANELLI, Jérôme GUÉGUEN, Manu LACORDAIRE… each
bringing, in addition to his talent, an
energy that gives the album a really exceptional atmosphere.
The
alchemy took place with his ‘old’ partner and friend, Vincent BRULEY at
the Piccolo Studio
