“Take Jazz Seriously!” It was under this injunctive title that in 1928, during his trip to the United States, Maurice Ravel addressed the readers of the journal Musical Digest and, by extension, all the composers of his time. A few months earlier, the second movement of his Sonata for violin and piano, "Blues", described itself as "stylized jazz, more French than American in character, perhaps".
What musician other than Lionel Belmondo could better celebrate Ravel's sensitivity to Jazz, its melodies and its blue notes expression? Alongside his brother Stéphane Belmondo (trumpet), pianist Jacky Terrasson, bassist Thomas Bramerie, drummer Lukmil Perez and the Orchestre National de Lyon, Lionel Belmondo weaves new musical bridges with compositions by Érik Satie, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
Direction: Christophe Larrieu (Music Conductor)
Cast: Lyon National Orchestra, Lionel Belmondo (Saxophones), Stéphane Belmondo (Trumpet and Bugle), Jacky Terrasson (Piano), Thomas Bramerie (Double Bass), Lukmil Perez (Drums)
