His grandfather was an opera singer at the "Scala de Milano" whereas his father, Gerard Badini, is a well known sax player and conductor thanks to his work with Duke Ellington, Stan Getz, Dee Dee Bridgewater, among others.
Fueled on Maceo Parker and Bennie Maupin, Jerome Badini created his own style: electro-sax ! A powerhouse sound, terse and hypnotic, the sax is a trance-maker in his hands. He's been acclaimed performing live with dj-producers Little Louie Vega (Vinyl, New York), Derrick May (Amnesia, Ibiza) and DJ Sneak (Elysée-Montmartre, Paris).
In 2004, Jerome Badini has composed and produced 'Round The Clock, a 12 track journey. This album takes us to the enchanted world of Super Bad, the tenor sax adventurer, who guides us through a day of musical reverie and conquest, all throbbing with that energy many claim, but few possess: Swing !
In 2006, he has produced Scriabin's Groove to set six Alexander Scriabin piano pieces opposite their transpositions into the idiom of jazz. This album has been unanimously acclaimed in the press and awarded.
In 2007, Jean-Philippe Audin (VideoCello), Jerome Badini (ElectroSax) and Judith Darmont (VideoKeyboard) have launched MOVIESONIC, a multimedia group that blends electro-jazz, classical music and video-art. On stage, they simultaneously mix music, photo and video triggered through the magic of their digitally enhanced instruments...
super concert ce soir! encore mieux qu'à la radio. j'ai adoré. désolée de ne pas avoir pu te le dire en personne. j'ai du partir tout de suite et ne t'ai pas trouvé :(
Hi Jerome, Thanks for your comment. I just listened to some of you Moviesonic work - you have a great sound on tenor, as well as some of the Scriabin tracks. Great idea. I've been listening to his music for a long time and I don't think anyone else has done anything with it like this. Congrats. All the best and thanks for getting in touch.
Merci pour ta belle imagination sonore, pour tes compositions tantôt complexes et alambiquées, tantôt simples et naïves, mais qu'est-ce que ça fait du bien une musique simple en majeure à l'époque où tous ceux qui font de la chanson ou de la variété utilise le mode mineur pour faire plus sérieux. Ça n'a l'air de rien mais je suis sûr que ça participe à la déprime ambiante. Merci aussi pour le velouté de ton ténor, et enfin merci de m'avoir invité à rejoindre tes amis. Au fait, il y a bien longtemps j'ai assisté à la répétition d'un big band qui m'avais beaucoup impressionné, c'était la première fois que j'en voyais un d'aussi près, et le chef était un Badini aussi, était-ce papa ? Amitié, Jean-Philippe
