Jean-Christian MICHEL has joined the classical composers, as we call the great musicians whose brilliant creations remain undiminished by time. Nevertheless his music is not "Traditional Classical music", in the usual meaning of this phrase, because if its source is in the patrimony of Occidental Classical music, the Sacred music born of centuries, then it is equally in a contemporary sophisticated Jazz with spatial echos. Jean-Christian MICHEL had intended on a career as a surgeon and obtained his diploma with the congratulations of the Jury. However, during his studies, he dedicated all his leisure time to Music : Initially, at the conservatoire, then learning at the school of the grand masters such as J.S BACH, and also of composers like DEBUSSY, RAVEL, SATIE, VIERNE and Jehan ALAIN, he quickly acquired a mastery of writing. Jean-Christian MICHEL has, since his adolescence, also perfected his improvisational and sound's work technique in Jazz, by learning about and playing the music of the american blacks. The clarinettist frequented and played with very important Jazzmen, such as DUKE ELLINGTON, PEANUTS HOLLAND, Stéphane GRAPPELLY, MILTON MEZZ MEZZROW, KENNY CLARKE, Daniel HUMAIR, Guy PEDERSEN, Jimmy SMITH, Henri TEXIER, Kansas FIELDS... Gradually, his own artistic expression, "JAZZ & SACRED MUSIC CROSS-OVER", a synthesis of Jazz and Classical music, took him : The appeal of the music becomes authoritarian, the surgeon abandons the operating room for musical composition. Jean-Christian MICHEL can from then on, devote totally himself to his real passion and dedicate his life to Music. Quickly promoted to "Full Member of the SACEM" ( Association of composers and music publishers ) he shares his time between composition, the recording studio and concert tours. Jean-Christian
MICHEL speaks an authentic language, which comes directly from his art.
His compositions, which are unique, are built upon simple and direct
melodic lines, with refined harmonies and original rhythms. Furthermore, Jean-Christian MICHEL's musical universe seems to join the deep current of our time : his music does not address the minority, but the whole of humanity. Jean-Christian MICHEL's work has been rewarded by numerous prices, of which that of "Sciences and Culture" given at the Sorbonne by a jury consisting of 6 Nobel prizes-winners.
