[Dixielandjazz] Jean-Marc Montaut à San Francisco

[Gary Kiser]

Hello jazzers,

My friend and excellent pianist, Jean-Marc Montaut (pronounced Monto), 
will be vacationing in San Francisco from April 9 to 21. Is there anyone 
that can show him around a bit? Is there any jazz going on during that 
period? Anyone want an excellent piano man with an exotic accent?

His English is decent and he is a down home, easy to get along with 
kinda guy. Although he is French, his sense of humor tends towards Monty 
Python or Mr. Bean.

Thank you for your indulgence. Any thoughts would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thank beaucoup, Gary

The Gigolos was Pink Turtle before they adopted the pop tune theme. Here 
are a couple of clips with Lillian Boutté.

Jean-Marc can play about everything. Back in the 90's, we had a trio 
with Richard Miller on cornet where we played strictly Bix tunes. 
Jean-Marc is a passionate film buff. He can tell you anything about 
almost any film ever produced. His own quartet play film music. Here are 
a couple of clips from his CDs Drive-In (1, 2 & 3).
