Leo Sidran at Sunset-Sunside

Leo Sidran presents his new album "Cool School [The Music of Michael Franks]" : "If the affiliation between Michael Franks and Leo Sidran seemed obvious to me, this was not immediately the case for Leo who confessed to knowing him only little. So I proposed to Leo to work on a tribute to this cult Artist and sent him a long series of songs that seemed to me all inevitable and the decision was quickly taken to devote himself to this new project. The choice of titles is the fruit of a joint work and reflect the two periods West & East coast of Michael Franks. Thus was born "Cool School - [The Music of Michael Franks]", an album recorded in France and the USA and which is also a meeting of exceptional musicians from both continents. This album is simply beautiful, remarkably produced by Leo Sidran, totally respectful of the work of Michael Franks while being perfectly modern. Good listening to all."

Tout comme Adam Cohen, Nancy Sinatra, Jakob Dylan ou Norah Jones, Leo Sidran n’est pas que le fils de père Ben Sidran. Il est aussi un artiste extraordinaire à part entière. Auteur, compositeur et interprète de talent mais également multi-instrumentiste, réalisateur et producteur. Cool School [The Music of Michael Franks] est son cinquième album studio. Le résultat est étonnant; sa voix très proche de celle Michael Franks et ses ambiances uniques qui ont berçé nos années 70/80 avec bonheur. Entre jazz, bossa nova, pop folk sophistiqué, on se délecte d’écouter ses standards de Michael Franks réarrangé par Leo Sidran. Une grande réussite.
