(guitar-vocal)Druss Lecomte (piano-vocal)Guillaume Durieux (double
bass-vocal) Bruce Ellison began as a mime and voice-over artist for American
television, as well as in musicals. In 1981, he arrived in Paris and joined the
Marceau mime school. Founder with Michel Carcan of the Théâtre de la Mandragore,
he also lends his voice to a number of advertising campaigns as well as
children’s programs. He is also the lead singer of the rock band PPZ30. He is
the director and actor of the strange Mister Knight. With The Jellodies he
proves to be an excellent singer in the color and antics of Thomas Fats Waller
and the sung Jazz of Louis Armstrong The Jellodies is a group inspired by the
famous trio: Art Tatum-Charlie Christian-Ray Brown:Pat Louis (guitar and vocals)
who moves from blues to jazz repertoire with a playing marked in particular by
Freddie Green, Tiny Grimes and the great Charlie Christian; Druss Lecomte (piano
and vocals) whose colorful playing will remind you of the swing of Count Basie
and Nat King Cole, the stride of Thomas “Fats” Waller, James P. Johnson, the
humor of Erroll Garner, the playing of ‘Art Tatum. He opened for Fats Domino and
Ray Charles. He has a long career as a jazz, blues, ragtime, stride piano, swing
and boogie woogie pianist. At his first concert, at the Os à Moelle in Brussels,
he was only…17 years old; Guillaume Durieux (double bass and vocals), the
youngest of the trio, already has superb technique and very high level slap. The
Jellodies is the swing and jive of the Nat King Cole Trio, Count Basie’s rhythm
section but also Willie Dixon’s Big Three Trio, all this for our greatest
happiness, “groove” wickedly!.. . The alchemy that results from the meeting
between Bruce Ellison and The Jellodies is absolutely magical. VIDEO LINK :
