Theatre National de Bretagne with Cecile Mclorin Salvant

A fantastic gig in Rennes with the wonderfully talented Cecile. La Section Rythmique has been lucky to perform some concerts with Cecile over the last couple of years. What a voice!

JazzAscona 2010 Photos – Paris-Sydney Connection + molto guests!

on December 8, 2011November 2, 2012 by admin

What a great session this was at the 2010 JazzAscona Festival! We started out as a quintet (Washingmachine, Pastre, Blenkhorn, Girardot and Nouaux) but were quickly joined by many friends…

Ehud Asherie and Aaron Diehl played some piano, Matt Minusteri strummed a few tunes. Dan Block blew some hot clarinet and Catherine Russell sung up a storm!! What great memories…
Thanks to Jacques Besse for the photos.

Great photo on a train in Davos (Barrett/Howe/Date/Girardot)

on November 13, 2011November 2, 2012 by admin

I recently dug up this photo from a few years back. It was a very strange gig on the train but the view was amazing. Switzerland is beautiful. I have some fond memories of the week I spent in Davos with Dan Barrett, Ian Date and Anthony Howe – Good times!
