And here comes MAM again, comprised of four inseparable musicians, equally fluent in Jazz, World Music, and Modern Classical Music, out on the road, year round, in France and elsewhere.

Viviane Arnoux (accordion and vocals), François Michaud (violin, viola and vocals), the founding members in 1992, joined by Alain Grange (cello) and Sylvain Pignot (drums, percussions) in 2000, have chosen a "live in concert" setting for their 4th CD. The move has refreshed the inspiration and the energy that their harmonious, generous, sensitive and original music conveys.

Jazz, yes, but away from the standards, and affirming its multiple influences all the way down to its track titles: Franche Contrée, Major Dom Tom, Celtique Jungle, Ritmica, À Babouches...

A colorful universe, unexpected landscapes, humor: what a trip!
