Recorded Live At the Jazz Club Lionel Hampton, Méridien Etoile, Paris, France
International top level band, directed by Alain Mion, formidable pianist, singer, composer, bandleader and arranger, certainly one of a kind in the “jazz funk and soul” style, in the same vein as Les McCann, Ramsey Lewis or Monty Alexander.
This 5 piece band has been created by Alain for a one week’s engagement at a prestigious Paris venue. The rare infectious energy of Alain, the groove of the trio and the swing and pleasure to play of the rhythm section (Swedish bassist Patrik Boman and German drummer Michael Kersting, both of them top level jazzmen with prestigious credits) are enriched with funky arrangements, played by a 2 sax ‘’rythm’n’blues’’ section (alto, tenor).
Fine melodist, radio hits composer (Pheno-Men, Devil’s Dance, The Tap Tap), gifted with a virtuoso pianist technique and a rare infectious energy, Alain Mion (today 63 years old) has performed on many radio and TV shows as well as at international festivals and prestigious venues, performing or recording from USA to China, from Sweden to Morocco, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, France
