Suivez la voix … c’est ce que nous murmure à l’oreille Jean-Marie Marrier ce projet qui nous révèle le répertoire de Frank Sinatra sous un angle peu connu du grand public : l’origine française de plusieurs de ses plus grands succès. Michel Legrand, Gilbert Bécaud, Jacques Brel, Charles Trénet... leurs mélodies ont résonné dans le monde entier, contribuant au rayonnement planétaire du plus grand crooner de tous les temps. Jean-Marie Marrier rend un hommage authentique et sincère à ces compositeurs, tantôt dans l’intimité d’un duo piano/voix, tantôt dans la chaleur d’un quintet aux textures subtiles et soignées. Les chansons se succèdent et on s’aperçoit bientôt que la plupart d’entre elles nous sont très familières !De son chant sincère et posé, Jean-Marie Marrier nous dévoile avec douceur et poésie ces petites tranches de vie qui parlent d’amour, de nature, de voyage.Entouré de Benoît Sourisse, André Charlier et Jean-Michel Charbonnel, fidèles compagnons de ses débuts à Paris, il nous propose un véritable charme musical léger et tranquille, qui fait du bien.Jean-Marie Marrier mène une carrière discrète, jalonnée d’aventures musicales remarquées : pilier du cultissime Captain Mercier, il fut également le chanteur de l’émission Nulle Part Ailleurs sur Canal+, époque Gildas/de Caunes/Garcia. En 2013, son premier album « Nature Boy », soutenu par la Spedidam, lui ouvre les scènes des festivals de jazz un peu partout en France. Sinatra & The French Songbook sera en tournée en 2025.
