Andrea Lindsay - La Belle Étoile

Styles: Vocal
Year: 2006

(3:16)  1. Les yeux de Marie

(3:21) 10. Insensatez
(8:33) 11. Demain, dès l'aube

Andrea Lindsay is from Guelph, Ontario. Anglophone by birth, it is during a stay in France at the age of 18 that she discovers the French and falls literally in love. At first, Andréa meets Éric Graveline, a musician who becomes his accomplice and with whom she composes and produces, with the help of the most simple means, her first French-language album entitled La belle étoile. The Belle Étoile was launched in May 2006. This is the revelation for Andrea with this first French-language solo album. It is at this moment that she discovers her style, her path, the praise and recognition that accompanies the job well done. What do we think of the first time we see Andrea Lindsay: First, it looks a bit like Michelle Phillips, the blonde group "The Mamas & the Papas", the same ethereal and slender body; then, as soon as she sings, her little English accent captivates you from the first notes. In addition to being a technically sound singer with a background in classical singing, the lyrics of her songs are original and the compositions fantastic. You will fall under the musical charm of its alluring pop. Hard to resist. Translate by Google https://palmaresadisq.ca/fr/artiste/andrea-lindsay/album/la-belle-etoile/

These tunes take me back to Mrs. Doyle’s kindergarten class at Shawsheen Elementary School in Andover, Mass. I first heard “Over the Rainbow” in “The Wizard of Oz,” which aired once a year on the NBC-TV affiliate in Boston. “Meet the Flintstones” we all knew, of course, from the television show. Come to think of it, most of the songs I learned as a kid were from TV. The first movie I ever saw in a theater was “Mary Poppins” in 1964, and I was thrilled by the tunes in that wonderful Sherman Brothers score. Later that year, at the World’s Fair in New York, my dad and I took the “It's a Small World” ride and were serenaded by animatronic Disney figures singing that earworm of a song (also written by the Shermans). The other tunes are things we sang in school. I would sometimes accompany the children’s choirs at the piano, which I began learning at 8. I would say that every tune on this recording I knew by heart and played on the piano before I was 10! I had the chance to do a children’s album for the Yamaha Disklavier series which are MIDI products a few years ago, and I’m glad I had the foresight to ask my friend , co prodocer and engineer Dave Kreisberg to record it at the pianos in the David Abell store in Los Angeles. Abell, who sold me my Yamaha C7 a number of years ago, was a wonderful man. He represented to me the ideal piano retailer: warm, elegant, artistically and charitably inclined, yet always able to make good use of a sales opportunity. The track Happy was an afterthought on my part. In 2014, I arranged this tune for the Cal State Fullerton Jazz Orchestra, and thought it would be fun to recreate it in a more electronic vein, getting my old friends, drummer/producer Curt Bisquera and vocalist Daniela Spagnolo in on the action. I dedicate this project to my brother John (Frere Jacques!), 1959-1985. Miss him every day. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I had fun doing it. ~ Bill Cunliffe September 2015 https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/billcunliffe2

Born France. While studying classical clarinet and alto saxophone at Toulouse Conservatory, Tissendier began playing jazz. His interests followed a chronological path, starting with New Orleans music, passing through the mainstream into bop. In 1977 he joined the big band led by Claude Bolling and also worked with Gerard Badini and others. In the early 80s he taught at the Paris School of Jazz and in 1983 formed a sextet especially to recreate the music of John Kirby. In demand for club and festival dates, the band won many awards for both live performances and records. In 1987 Tissendier formed Saxomania, a seven-piece band featuring two alto saxophones, two tenors and three rhythm. Once again he won honours and gained invaluable experience and exposure accompanying visiting American jazzmen including Benny Carter, Buddy Tate, Jimmy Witherspoon and Spike Robinson, with some of whom he also recorded. Tissendier’s alto playing is striking for its intensity and driving swing and the high musical standards displayed by the Saxomania band ably demonstrate that his is a major talent. https://www.allmusic.com/artist/claude-tissendier-quintet-mn0000391438/biography
