Crooner extraordinaire, Benoit Viellefon is the next
singing sensation from France. His lustrous and warm
vocal quality will inevitably draw you to his music,
both French, latin and jazz. As a self accompanied and
refined guitarist, Benoit will weave a tapestry of sultry
sounds round you and carry you off into the velvet,
dreamy evening... Come spend a romantic time, solo or
ensemble and let the dulcet tones and intricate guitar
work of M. Viellefon escort you down the Parisian lanes
of nostalgia...ooh la la!
His orchestra (drums, double bass, accordion &
trumpet) includes musicians that have played around
the globe many times over since the 1960's, and recorded
with artists such as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, THe
Rolling sTones, John Mc Laughlin, Georgie Fame, Bob
Marley, The Skatalites, Trojans, Lili Allen... to name
the most famous but also many international jazz and
world music big names!! How Mr Viellefon manages to
attract such illustrious performers remains a mystery.
You should come and investigate in person... |
