Thanks to a style which has always escaped with the requirements of the mode, thanks to rhythmic drawn with the same sources of the jazz, reggae and swing and thanks especially to a jubilatoire mixture of the music and humour, the Full orchestra of Splendid for a long time affirms its atypical personality and iconoclaste within the French song.

 

After 23 years of career, with six albums and of true triumphs on scene, the Full orchestra of Splendid is always present, to large complete, faithful to return of a public eclectic and many, more than ever ready like them having fun the festival.

 

But the Full Orchestra of Splendid, they is also the regular rounds grace to which they go in many towns of France but also to Europe, and in Canada where as an example they played ’’Tam Tam’’ two seasons of summer in Quebec filling tous.les.jours and for 3 months a capital of 1000 places installed for the estival season in full shift and to a hundred kilometers of Montreal.

 

Obviously, over such a duration of career, the team changed but in about fifteen years, the formation are nearly identical: the Thibault brothers: Xavier (author, type-setter and singer) and Frederic (type-setter), Alice Prévost (singer) and Paul Maucourt (trumpet player and singer), one finds Michel Winogradoff (singer) there, Frédo Westrich (bass player), Rudy Muller (guitarist), Bernard Salestier (trumpet player), Vincent Turquoize (saxophonist), Lou Volt (singer) and Damien Verherve (trombonist). Joined Yvano Latucca (Beater), Claude Egéa and Jean Gobinet (trumpet players), Alain Hatot, Philippe Duchesne, Gilles Miton (saxophonists), Julie Saury and Veronique Bossa (percussionnists and singers).

 

To find the individual and collective pleasure to work the characters camped with the rigour of an actor, to exploit the musical and visual universe of each refrain, to tell stories without discussion thread but with some characters who trott themselves from one title to another. And it is at the price of a setting in precise scene, where all displacements are regulated, those of the soloists like those of the orchestra, which it is possible to improvise and play with the public. In short to take and give pleasure! A return in strength of the Full orchestra of Splendid and a manner which resembles to them: orchestrated in a great copper glare, heat and of generosity impresses, where the ambition is to see the things into while knowing more than ever to remain light like a swing, moving like a blues, festif like a reggae and involving like a salsa.
