About Me:
An extraordinary destiny, that of Jean Michel Jarre's, following in the path of another, that of his father, Maurice Jarre, composer of soundtracks of legendary Hollywood films.
Jean Michel Jarre, a pioneer in his field, has largely contributed to the fastest growing musical revolution of the 20th century, electronic music : conceiving music in terms of sounds rather than only in terms of notes, and thus allowing the composer to become his own craftsman. Having followed formal studies of harmony and counterpoint at the Conservatoire de Paris, he was inspired to reinvent music at its core, with his own singular vision, deploying the technology and tools of his epoch. This pioneering approach gave birth to worldwide hit albums such as "OXYGENE", "EQUINOXE", MAGNETIC FIELDS", "ZOOLOOK", "RENDEZVOUS", "WAITING FOR COUSTEAU"....over 80 million albums sold to date.
Following through with his revolution in music, he also conceived a brand-new genre and format of concerts ; breaking away from the traditional theatre and arena context, Jarre brought his music and vision outdoors to the masses. Often free and open-to-all, these state-of-the-art concert-spectaculars showcase the natural or urban environment in which they are performed -- a truly singular sonic and visual "land-art" event, conceived and performed on a unique scale for a one-off experience.
Jarre's legendary concerts have attracted Guinness Record-breaking audiences across the planet. Their settings, their contexts and their players encompass History, politics, environmental statements, sociocultural coups, mass media coverage...amongst others.
They take place in exceptional settings, marking extra-ordinary contexts: From post-Mao's Red China to that of today, from Texas in collaboration with NASA, to the concert welcoming His Holiness Pope John-Paul II to the city of Lyon in France, from the Docklands in London to Solidarnosc at the initiative of Nobel Peace Laureate, Lech Walesa, in Paris for the environmental statement with Cousteau, from the Great Pyramids of Egypt welcoming the New Millennium, to the absolute record live audience of 3.5 million in Moscow, and his ongoing engagement to the United Nations via UNESCO as Ambassador and spokesperson for Environment and Education....the well-travelled path of this visionary musician and humanitarian is certainly most unique : an exceptional log-book retracing his and our epoch on so many levels.
2010-2011 sees Jarre booked for his first ever world tour. Over 100 dates where he offers a rare opportunity to share his talent live -- to date, the European arenas played to full-house, have revealed a most cross-over audience.
But if Jarre's music is so universal, it is also because it is in a
timeless class of its own, created by a man who has always followed his own vision and expression far from the passing trends, driven by an immense curiosity for the world and universe in which we evolve : the wonders & sounds of nature, the awareness of preserving our planet, the politics and sociology of our times, the rich variety of culture and people across the continents, the fantastic evolution of technology in our living generation, how music is truly a universal language whatever the age, gender, culture or class...These themes that have always driven Jarre, and that are the foundations of his successful and ongoing singular career.

I LOVE THIS PRECIOUS PEARL!! <3
Le 16 octobre 2010, mon épouse m'a offert le plus beau cadeau de ma vie, vous voir enfin !!! Magnifique, sublime concert au Zénith de Lille. Je n'ai pu retenir mes larmes dès la première note jouée. Ce que je regrette le plus est de n'avoir pu vous approcher quand vous êtes sortis pour discuter avec vos fans à la fin du concert.
Maintenant, il ne me reste plus qu'à voir un jour un concert en extérieur si la vie le permet...
A bientôt, j'espère... Grégory (62).
