About the In The Style series:
The In The Style series focus strictly on the playing style of the artist. These are not general "how to" lessons. The goal of these lessons is to give insight on a wide range of topics relevant to the musical style of the artist. Advanced students will be able to immediately absorb and work on many of the concepts covered in the lessons. Beginner and intermediate level students will benefit greatly from the transcriptions of the numerous video performances with close ups when relevant. Music is like a language, and it is best learnt by surrounding yourself with better musicians. The goal of the "In The Style Series" is to give you this access, as much as possible, in the comfort of your own home!
About Olivier Franc:
Olivier Franc (soprano saxophone), is the son of René Franc, clarinetist of the Pierre Braslavsky's band and of the André Réwéliotty's orchestra who played with Sidney Bechet.
Olivier Franc began his career in the 1970's. In 1979, he was awarded the Prix Sidney Bechet by the French Académie du Jazz. Well established in the classic jazz scene, the music critics called him Sidney Bechet’s best disciple and in 1997, he was rewarded with the Prix du Musicien Français from the Hot Club de France for his live CD Swing Folies. Olivier Franc offers a new and personal music while remaining faithful to the spirit and style of Sidney Bechet. Since 2006, he has had the privilege of playing the saxophone that formerly belonged to Sidney Bechet.
Upon hearing him perform, Wynton Marsalis invited him to join his orchestra on stage in numerous high profile events such as Jazz à Marciac. In this televised event, his featured solo on "Summertime" is now studied in music schools around the world.
