| Jazz Faure Project: General Info
|
| Member Since | 2/22/2007 | | Band Website | jazzfaure.com | | Band Members | The Jazz Faure Project features seventeen masterpieces of French impressionist composer Gabriel Fauré arranged by Dennis Luxion and Bobby Schiff for 21st century jazz quartet and two singers. In performance, the ensemble feature six of the eight artists from the album— singers Sean Harris and Paris-born Claudia Hommel, Bobby Schiff and Dennis Luxion on piano, Tim McNamara or Jerry DiMuzio on flute, clarinet, soprano and tenor saxophone, Jim Cox on bass, and Tim Davis on drums. | | Influences | Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy, Bill Evans, Yves Montand, Johnny Mathis, Ella Fitzgerald, Elly Ameling, Gérard Souzay, Joao Gilberto | | Sounds Like | The project has drawn accolades from jazz, classical and pop music lovers alike —at the Hothouse in September 2005, the Gorton Center (Lake Forest, IL), the Kerrytown Concert House (Ann Arbor), the Detour Jazz Room and Triad Theatre in New York City. Says Mark Stryker of the Detroit Free Press, “An alluring CD … a rewarding concept.” Jazz critic Neil Tesser and co-host of “Listen Here!” the public-radio jazz review, writes “You won't find a better guide to the music of Fauré—to most anything French, for that matter —than Claudia Hommel, Chicago's chanteuse. As her voice twines with that of Sean Harris—a throaty tenor whose full embrace of this material deserves special mention— they make the music sparkle.” | | Record Label | Maison Clobert | | Type of Label | Indie |
