⬇️ JEAN-JACQUES MILTEAU ⬇️
DISCOGRAPHY 1983-2021 (27CD/DVD)
BIOGRAPHY
The release in 1989 of his first solo album, « Blues Harp », marks the start of his career as a bandleader with Manu Galvin on guitar. In 1992 he receives his first Victoire de la Musique (the equivalent of a Grammy in France) for the album « Explorer ».
A major change takes place in 2001 with the « Memphis » album, recorded for Universal in the US with major African-American blues artists. This recording is awarded a Victoire de la Musique the following year in the Best Blues Album category. All these recent albums have various characteristics in common :
. a strong blues-soul leaning
. a mix of original compositions and covers
. the marked presence of American blues singers and players, most of them
very well-known, including Terry Callier, Gil Scot-Heron and Demi
Evans
. a perfect balance of vocal and instrumental tracks (guitar, keyboards,
horns…)
In this second period of his recording career, JJ Milteau seems to have
reached full-grown artistic maturity. It helps him further his musical
ambition, concentrating more on the whole band sound than on any specific
instrument, like Paul Butterfield before him. These last years, he has
been touring all over Europe ; the United States ; Canada ; Africa ;
Central America ; the Caribbean Islands ; the Indian Ocean and in Taiwan,
Mainland China, Singapore…
When he’s not touring, JJ finds time for other activities, including the
writing of several instructions books for harp players. He also hosts a
weekly radio show for the TSF network. In 1997, he created a web site
devoted to the harmonica, including a museum, a school, a concert bar and
numerous pieces of information and connections in English, French and
Polish.
He published numerous teaching harmonica playing booklets, CDs, audio
tapes for both beginners and achieved players, and recently a video.
