Moutin Reunion Quartet - Soul Dancers

Moutin Reunion Quartet .:|:. Soul Dancers – [Plus Loin Music, 2010]

::||:: Back in 1999 Louis and Francois Moutin decided to form THE MOUTIN REUNION QUARTET in order to perform their original compositions. They had a common desire: to create music expressing the energy of life; full of emotion and spontaneity – a music close to them, to what they intimately feel, inhabited by Jazz’ spirit, swing and grooves, inviting listeners and musicians to celebrate beauty and imagination.

They are sharing this desire with their two outstandingly skilled partners: the amazingly talented pianist Pierre de Bethmann and the immensely gifted saxophonist Rick Margitza. Not only Rick is a former partner of Mr. Miles Davis, but also both he and Pierre can pride themselves on their profoundly creative and extremely successful respective solo careers.

Since six years, the band is touring through both America and Europe, performing for more and more big and enthusiastic audiences.

John Lee Hooker Jr.

San Francisco – There is something keenly energetic about a ‘live’ album. And when bluesman John Lee Hooker, Jr. shouts “Istanbul, are you ready for the blues?” at the onset of his newly released CD, “Live in Istanbul, Turkey” you can feel the electricity in the stadium. “Live in Istanbul, Turkey” on Hooker, Jr.’s own Steppin’ Stone Records and the European label Jazzhaus Records, proves to be yet another notch in the Grammy nominated artist’s belt. Hooker explodes with fiery intensity as he sets the audience on fire at the Efes Pilsen Blues Festival, proving that the blues are indeed an international language understood around the world.

John Lee. Hooker Jr. - Live

“Live in Istanbul, Turkey” showcases the son of the late iconic blues legend, John Lee Hooker, not only performing classics from his previously released albums, but also introducing three new songs as well. In addition, as the first blues artist to tap hip hop’s reach with animated music videos, the CD boast yet another addition to this legacy. The bonus video “Extramarital Affairs,” co-conceived and co-produced by Frenchman Laurent Mercier at the Callicore Animation Studios in Paris, captures, in vivid black and white, the torrid escapades of a background musician’s illicit affair with a mistress that Hooker Jr. calls “tales of the road.” “Extramarital Affair” is the third in a series of blues animations from Hooker, Jr. and Mercier.
