Notes that love one another
[ A history of music as you've never heard it ]
''Did you know that the first microgroove was in invented in an egyptian pyramid ?"
"Why do singers with high-pitched voices drive girls crazy ?"
"Is the expression ''Dumb like a tenor'' justified by the laws of acoustics ?"
"How did the execution of Robespierre trigger the birth of Jazz ?''
Anouch - (from piano solo to 4tet)
In 1915, she walked 1000 km from Amasya to Deir es-Zor.
If she survived, it's because she had a big mouth and moved the Turkish commander of the convoy deporting her.
Anouch inspired the song that gives the album its title. Anouch was a hiker. Anouch, in Armenian, means sweet.
And just as well, music is sacred and... sweet.
(Line up; Piano, violoncelle, tablas)
Between duel and duo Jean-Francois Zygel and André Manoukian
No holds barred in the duel between André Manoukian and Jean-François Zygel. When it comes to repartee (pianistic and verbal), the two protagonists are not to be outdone! But don't worry, the battle is rather good-natured and light-hearted!
Each at his own keyboard, sometimes adversaries, sometimes accomplices, the two musicians play a furious game of notes. Nourished by variations and improvisations, their tribulations cross paths with Bach, Beethoven, Brel, Bill Evans, Mozart and Duke Ellington. André Manoukian and Jean-François Zygel are both gifted with words, piano, humor, expression, a passion for music and an extraordinary talent for transmission. There's no doubt about it: they have fun on stage, and they'll have fun for you too.
