L’HOMME A TETE DE CHOU IN URUGUAY (vinyl)

Description

VARIATIONS ON THE MUSIC OF SERGE GAINSBOURG. - - For me, a tribute can only be successful if it is first and foremost driven by sincerity. And as far as I'm concerned, there were only two possibilities: Claude Nougaro, with whom I had the chance to play for a long time, and Gainsbourg. But the one who is most a part of my identity, with whom I feel closest, in approach and particularly in compositional approach, is Gainsbourg. I've been sleeping with these two photos of him above my bed for 18 years... - - I have the ideal group to do what I want to do, with the musicians from my penultimate album: accomplices and friends who will be involved. Brilliant instrumentalists, experienced in improvisation, but with enormous experience in song, pop, and 'current music'. Musicians without blinkers but with their own identity, who will be able to appropriate this music without betraying it.
