Pianist and film score composer Jean-Michel Bernard pays personal tribute to rock and pop superstar Elton John. Jean-Michel Bernard delivers 17 solo piano covers of the artist's greatest hits, from Rocket Man to Your Song, Tiny Dancer, Crocodile Rock and many more.
Jean-Michel Bernard is a unique pianist and composer who has found his place at the crossroads of genres. Classically trained at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux and the Ecole Normale de Musique in France, Jean-Michel Bernard quickly expanded his activities to jazz, collaborating with Eddie Davis, Guy Laffite, Jimmy Woode, Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Brown. He met Ray Charles (who called him a "genius") in 2000, whom he accompanied on a world tour with his quartet, while also serving as conductor and arranger. But it is in film and television that he has truly found his niche. In 40 years, Jean-Michel Bernard has worked on over 200 films, series and documentaries and has been the musical director for many popular television and radio shows in France. A long-time collaborator of director Michel Gondry, he has worked with Martin Scorsese, Claude Chabrol, Francis Lai, Fanny Ardant, Philippe Sarde, Francis Veber and many others. He has also arranged music by Ennio Morricone and Lalo Schifrin, who once said his "genius was beyond words."
