Concert Jean-Christian Michel en église - Jazz Spatial - DVD

Jean-Christian Michel Is beyond Fashions and Time :

Pop Star or Great Classical Artist of the 21st Century ?

Jean-Christian Michel seal
Jean-Christian Michel has created a unique and unclassifiable musical style. The architecture of its Sound Edifices is reminiscent of that of the Romanesque Abbeys, whose ideal of stripping gives it an Eternal Modernity. Jean-Christian Uses Today the Resources of New Technology, To Give Even Greater Part to Emotion and to Dreams… Tender and Manly, Both Classical and Contemporary, His Music Opens the Doors to a Unknown Universe.

Great precursor of the rapprochement of jazz and classical music, Jean-Christian Michel, clarinetist and famous french composer, invented a unique music in the world of an extraordinary modernity : spatial jazz.

Jean-Christian Michel is above all "a Soul", a music coming from very far away, which knows how to dream and make the echo of infinity resonate in the intimate.

Jean-Christian Michel's "Space Jazz" achieves the perfect balance between the mysterious universe of mysterious sacred music and a futuristic vision of extreme vanguard.

Jean-Christian Michel experiments in this unknown jazz of the 21st century, new musical dimensions, whose roots plunge into the depths of the sacred music of cathedrals and the swing of the original jazz of black Americans.

The unique sound of Jean-Christian Michel's clarinet, sublimated by the multidimensional timbres of new sound generators, as if coming from other universes, springs with all its brilliance within the deep volumes of the liturgical organ in a luminous alloy of a spatial limpidity of an exceptional brilliance. Sounds with multiple echoes, magical, captivating, almost unreal, seem drawn from the vibrations of immensity.

The primal pulsations of the groove spin and permeate the body in physical resonances.

Jean-Christian Michel's concert, presents authentic concert performers, "tightened" into a small formation for an extraordinary coherence. It is not without reason that Jean-Christian Michel's concerts fill the greatest cathedrals : From the outset Jean-Christian Michel knows how to establish an atmosphere that touches your heart and does not let go: Emotion is always at the appointment.

First to open churches to concerts other than religious, famous for his remarkable transcriptions of J.-S. Bach and his famous arrangement of the Concerto d'Aranjuez, Jean-Christian Michel has sold millions of albums rewarded with three diamond discs and a dozen gold and platinum records.

Continuing today in the world his impressive destiny with thousands of concerts to his credit, Jean-Christian Michel knows how to share his happiness as a musician, communicating an emotion like the stars he seems to have never left.

"Jean-Christian Michel's music escapes all definition : we listen to it, and we imbibe it. It is magic, sound light. It speaks of Origin and Infinity. He is "Alpha and the Omega ".
