20 000 people were there last night listenning to us in Versailles, city of the "Sun King" ! My english friend Jamie gave me the pleasure to come and he took some pictures of the event! Thanks Jamie....but sorry for the quality of them cause I think he had drunk too much wine that evening... Funny things like James, the trumpet player, reading a book and smooking a cigarette while the crowd was waiting for the show, just before going on stage! Enjoy pics....

Last night in Saint Germain en Laye (close Paris), I sang with my friends-musicians brazilian songs! Here is the picture with Xavier Lebeau on doublebass. It seems we are from another time on that pic...nice! I like it!

My head is in the stars... After many many years waiting for it, I saw David Sanborn playing in Paris in the "Duc des Lombards" on thursday evening. There are no words to express how I feel. The huge privilege I've been granted to be in presence of such a "Grace". It is quite unique to play saxophone like he does. What a genius! What a power! What magic! And musicians, who were playing with him, were just amazing. The duet with Gene Lake on drums and James Genus on bass were unbelievable. James Genus was flying over the rythm with such an elegance. What a great performance of Nicky Moroch on guitar and Gil Goldstein on keyboads!! A dream... And moreover Nicky Moroch invited me as a guest the evening after, so I touched the sky a second time again and I'm still there... Many many thanks to all of them to be all smiles two following days.

On saturday night playing with friends-musicians in a marvellous place around Paris. No pics while we were playing but only when we were having diner together. What a hard life!! On Sunday, a duet (sing and piano) with my friend Del Rabenja, in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris where we could admired paintings all around us...not too bad too !!

I'd specially like to thank Pierre Acourt, talented pianist, who has brought a new dimension & energy by his play while a concert we've done with Hot Sweet & Swing on saturday evening. I had a real pleasure to sing with you guys... Can't wait the next recordings of my new songs...

My so dear Yvon...how lucky man you were that evening at Mick Jagger Castel in La Loire (France). Playing trumpet for him and his few guests for his party!!! Thanks for the pic you gave me as the memory of "La Reine d'Angleterre" as you called him when he introduced himself to you!!

A new Jazz Session in France, from the 2sd to the 5th july in an hour from Paris, in the country side with Alain Guillard (saxophonist). Saxophones, trumpets, flutes, guitares, bass, drums...with 3 years of experience minimum, are welcome to join this session for 4 days. The fifth day, concert in the park of Capucins at the Jazz Festival of Coulommiers.

Monday evening for diner at my very dear friends Catherine and Pierre in Paris. Jeanette, from Stockholm, feels already like at home in my beautiful city, Paris. A delicious improvising diner, drinking good Sancerre white wine, listenning to jazz music, sharing experiences of travels and our different cultures.

Walk around in the city centre of the capital of Sweden, Stockholm. There with my friend Jeanette. Smelling the air of the early spring in the streets and park of the city, having a tea in a terrasse of a café when it's not too windy or at Bernt, talking about her arrival in Paris for next months.

What's behind each looks? Friends...Love...Family. SOUL of each one, happiness, fear, kindness, generosity, questions... I love looking at the eyes of someone, reading a part of his personality, like listenning to a beautiful song. These are looks of persons I love...

My dear friend, the photographer I already introduced you, took pictures of me few weeks ago while I was visiting him in Paris. Pictures without any preparations, taken just in the moment, after lunch at my cousin's Nathalie and in the small place down the street just before the sunset. Thank you my dear Hugues. You know how much I consider and love your work. For Always...

You can feel the cold winter high in the mountain and just cross the border to Spain and feel being like in spring. Just let the sunshine open your mind and enjoy the beautiful landscapes of our Earth. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 !!!!

It was last saturday night on stage. Thank you Bernard for the photos.

A week in the capital of Sweden with my friend Jeanette. Walks together in the early cold of november that I'm not used to. But the atmosphere, the colours and landscapes gave me a warm impression and our friendship stronger than never... For you Jeanette
