" Everything is new in May " is the saying in this country.
The French remain modest for once and say: " En mai, fais ce qu'il te plaît ! " " In May, do what you like ! "... Jean Faure & son Orchestre follow the invitation and want to celebrate spring with a flower harvest of colorful, old and new, well-known and surprising, funny and melancholic, lyrical and witty, loud and quiet French chansons from their rich repertoire...
The Orchestre:
Hedayet Djeddikar: piano, keyboards
Dirk Ferdinand: drums
Kristaps Grasis: guitars, mandolin, ukulele
Matthias Höhn: saxophones, bass clarinet, concertina, charango etc.
Markus Quabeck: double bass, electric bass
(...) The band is great, providing a wide range of colors: Debussy with the screeching of seagulls! The border between parody and pathos becomes wafer-thin, it tugs at the heart. (FAZ am Sonntag)
"Jean Faure and his ensemble demonstrate the diversity of the chanson with their selection of songs and their multi-faceted arrangements. This is no nostalgic sound kitsch from Montmartre, but a dynamic art form that has survived many fashions. And will outlast many more. Chapeau!" (General Anzeiger Bonn)
