Meeting of Pointures for a tribute to the immense singer of the 70's and 80's. Under the persistent weight of the Blues, Rhythm n'Blues were born, then Soul music, in which the entire black American community would recognize itself during the 1950s and 1960s, and which would irrigate all the Pop and Funk culture of the 1970s and 1980s. After a career start noted for his very personal way of singing, Al Jarreau really took off in 1980 with the album "This Time" then in 1981 "Breakin' Away". Covering both jazz and pop songs, he is the only singer to have won a Grammy Award in three different categories to date, namely Jazz, R&B and Pop. Born on Mauritius Island, Linley Marthe is deeply marked by this music which frames all his learning of the electric bass, emblematic instrument of this era as well as the Fender Rhodes keyboard, both having earned their stripes with the most advanced instrumentalists of their time.Passionate about music Hervé Saint-Guiron is a trumpeter, drummer, organist and passionate about piano in particular. When I ask him his influences Sam Yahel, Larry Goldings, Brad Meldhau, Bud Powell, Errol Garner, Herbie Hancock for the richness of his talent or the guitarist Wes Montgomery. A distinguished Jazz Soul singer, Bruno Edjenguélé, has worked with Youssou N'Dour, Michel Jonasz, Tribal Jam, Teri Moïse, and others Luther Vandross, founding member of the group DELAVOIX and great fan of soul funk of those yearsRoger Biwandu, very young, went on tour with artists like Biréli Lagrène (at 16), the late Pierre Vassiliu (at 18) and Jacques Higelin (at 22), not to mention that he was also a member of Bordeaux groups like Post Image which just celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2007, and the group Tribal Jam of which he was the musical director....

Réunion de Pointures pour un hommage à l'immense chanteur des 70's et 80's. Sous le poids persistant du Blues, naissent le Rhythm n'Blues, puis la Soul music, dans laquelle toute la communauté noire américaine se reconnaîtra au cours des années 1950 et 1960, et qui irriguera toute la culture Pop et Funk des années 1970 et 1980. Après un début de carrière remarqué pour sa façon très personnelle de chanter Al Jarreau décollera vraiment en 1980 avec l’album « This Time » puis en 1981 « Breakin’ Away ». Reprenant aussi bien des titres de jazz que de pop, il est le seul chanteur ayant remporté à ce jour un Grammy Award dans trois différentes catégories, à savoir en Jazz, en R&B et en Pop.Né sur l'ÎIe Maurice, Linley Marthe est profondément marqué par cette musique qui charpente tout son apprentissage de la basse électrique, instrument emblématique de cette époque tout comme le clavier Fender Rhodes, l'un et l'autre ayant gagné leurs galons auprès des instrumentistes les plus avancés de leur temps.Passionné de musique Hervé Saint-Guiron est trompettiste, batteur, organiste et passionné de piano en particulier. Quand je lui demande ses influences Sam Yahel, Larry Goldings, Brad Meldhau, Bud Powell, Errol Garner, Herbie Hancock pour la richesse de son talent ou encore le guitariste Wes Montgomery.Chanteur Jazz Soul émérite, Bruno Edjenguélé, a travaillé avec Youssou N'Dour, Michel Jonasz, Tribal Jam, Teri Moïse, et autres Luther Vandross, membre fondateur du groupe DELAVOIX et grand passionné de soul funk des ces années.Roger Biwandu très jeune, partait en tournée avec des artistes comme Biréli Lagrène (à 16 ans), le regretté Pierre Vassiliu (à 18 ans) et Jacques Higelin (à 22 ans), sans compter qu'il était membre aussi de groupes Bordelais comme Post Image qui vient de fêter ses 20 d'existence en 2007, et du groupe Tribal Jam dont il était le directeur musical..
