Homes, Homes, the first album of Jonathan Orland

His debut album is the result of his 4 years stay in America and the meeting with young musicians from the whole word coming to Boston. If Jonathan is the leader of his quintet each musician brings his own style and his musical personality offering an interesting perspective. Georges Garzone has been invited to join them for the album; he is one the favorite musicians of Jonathan who considers him as his mentor. Home is an unvarying world in English, adding an S at the end of the world is not a hazard. Turning home into homes expresses the sensation of feeling at home everywhere, as long as there is a musical meeting and a real exchange. The feeling of being home with the musicians he met is at the origin of this album. Those different meetings with different kind of musicians offer us a mixed repertoire in terms of tempo and style; still it keeps some kind of continuity and homogeneity in the album.

A range of musicians with different tones which offers a bomb going to explode of ingenuity and fineness

Homes, songs which keep aware and give us a scheming and mature first disc
rythmeUn riche An album full of rythme Un album riche en rythme qui incite au voyage et laventure
