Jean Vanasse - Info by Emilie

I will talk about Jean Vanasse.. Quebec vibraphonist.
He studies classic percussion in quebec and montréal conservatory but when he finished (1975) he was directed primarily in the progressive jazz and composition with his quartet "L'orchestre sympathique" (friendly orchestra..) influenced by classical and latin music. They recorded three live disc (self funded with a new concept : live recording where the public pays $10 to attend the show and receive the album on its release) and play in concert from 1976 to 1986 in Canada and Europe.
