{"product_id":"nicolas-montier_jazz-circus_2024_soc","title":"JAZZ CIRCUS","description":"Nicolas Montier was born in Paris in 1955. A self-taught jazz musician, his curiosity led him to try almost all instruments before specializing in saxophone and guitar. Over the years, Nicolas has become a pillar of the Petit Journal, and all his performances are synonymous with excellence. Whether with the Jazz Circus, during his \"Cartes blanches à\" events, with his quartet, or as a sideman in other orchestras, all his appearances leave a vibrant and warm memory for an audience that always wants more! Nicolas Montier performs in concerts and recordings with musicians such as Clark Terry, Benny Carter, Phil Woods, Johnny Griffin, Lavelle, Spike Robinson, Butch Miles, Duffy Jackson, Diane Schuur, Eddy Jones, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Lew Tabackin, Claude Tissendier, André Villeger, François Biensan, Irakli, Alain Jean-Marie, François Laudet, Marc Richard, Michel Pastre, Jean Pierre Morel, Pierre-Yves Sorin, Daniel Huck, Stan Laferrière, Guy Lafitte, Gérard Badini, Philippe Milanta... His love for \"big bands\" has led him to participate in prestigious ensembles: Gérard Badini's Super Swing Machine, Saxomania, Stan Laferrière 10 tet, Paris Swing Orchestra, Michel Pastre big-band, St Louis big band, François Biensen 8tet, and for the past ten years, the François Laudet big-band. At the same time, he is the guitarist for Stan Laferrière's 4tet (Tribute to Nat King Cole) and the baritone saxophonist for Marc Richard's 4tet. Finally, he leads a 5tet, a 4tet, and a trio whose CDs are regularly broadcast on TSF and whose concerts receive excellent reviews. He has recorded about forty CDs, five under his own name: 1990 Trio Colas, 1991 Back to Live, 1991 Lullaby (commissioned by Japan), 1994 Pluie de Jazz, 2002 Nicolas Montier 5tet, 2004 \"Interdit d'écouter\" (TSF partnership \/ CD of the week Jazz à FIP \/ Monde de la Musique: 4 stars). He is regularly invited to festivals in Nice, Edinburgh, Maastricht, Bayonne, Toulouse, Riom, La Teste, Hinx, Marciac, Montauban, Sion \u0026 Ascona (Switzerland), Breda (Holland), Juan-les-Pins, Auckland, etc. This new album was recorded live at the Petit Journal Montparnasse on October 27, 2022, with his \"JAZZ CIRCUS\" formation. The Montier Jazz Circus is composed of musicians from the former Rois du Fox-Trot, an orchestra with over 20 years of existence, numerous concerts, and tours to its credit. This experience brings an exceptional osmosis and remarkable cohesion to this formation. The Montier Jazz Circus, this mini big band, under the direction of saxophonist\/arranger Nicolas Montier, performs works by Duke Ellington as well as original compositions with a swing-era (forties) flavor. High-flying music! There is no doubt that you will be captivated by the incredible acts of the Montier Jazz Circus.","brand":"Nicolas Montier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55312528703832,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3448961084511.jpg?v=1760401406","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/nicolas-montier_jazz-circus_2024_soc","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
