AMALYA & YANN COLE LIVE IN DOUAI 2009 ........................BENEFITING FROM A VERY 'OFF BEATEN PATH' EXPERIENCE for a French musician-
family expatriated to the US, a childhood and adolescence marked by an exploration of the southern states,
cradle of 'Black American Music'. A few years later, Yann moves to Mississippi and here is where his true
vocation is revealed, when he starts jaming with local musicians like David Kimbrough or Jay Kirgis,
who are quick to show their enthusiasm and support. Back in Paris, Yann gets some great experience
hosting blues jams that allow him to play with Martha High, Keziah Jones and Lucky Peterson.
Today the voice and guitar style of the young Parisian is colored by the blues, funk and soul. He writes
and performs his own compositions as well as paying tribute to the giants of blues and soul music,
past and present, such as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Prince, whom he considers
as his main influences. The musicians
of the Yann Cole Band also play with Mory Kante, Alpha Blondy, Lucky Peterson, Liz Mc Comb...
THE ECLECTIC MUSICAL JOURNEY taken by Yann Cole, whether he be accompanied by his usual
musicians, solo, or with various different combos, has seen him perform on many stages. Such as-Enghein Jazz Festival, Blois Tous sur le Pont Jazz Festival,
Blues Express Festival (Luxembourg),
Casa Jazz Club (Switzerland), Bougy Blues Festival, Musikair' Festival,
le New Morning in (PARIS),
L'Esprit Jazz Festival' in (PARIS),
St Louis Jazz Festival (Sénégal),
Blues sur Seine Festival in Mantes la Jolie, Salon de Provence Jazz Festival, Blues sur Seine Festival, La Scene Bastille, L'Opus, Le Caveau des Oubliettes etc... --------------------------------------------------------------------------
