JEREZ LE CAM’S COMPOSITIONS IN ETHNO-JAZZ STYLE IN THE NOWADAYS CONTEXT OF FRENCH “POPULAR” MUSIC

Summary/Abstract: The current landscape of French (and equally of world) music has become extremely heteroclite. The present-day musical scene is marked by a growing tendency toward mixes of genres, forms and (melodic, rhythmic, timbral etc.) musical elements, while musicians (performers-composers most of the times) aim at creating original works that would distinguish them from other groups or musicians. With his music and ensembles, Jerez le Cam represents this creative tendency in France, especially after his musical meeting with Romanian-born violinist Marian Iacob Măciucă. His music is an interesting mix of elements of Dobrudjan and Argentinean folk music, painted at times on a structural canvas of high-art music, while also leaving room for spontaneous jazz-style improvisations.
