Adieu les filles

Apollo

AM041

"Beau voyage. With every album from an ARFI group, we are invited to a family celebration: the warmth of the welcome, reunions, memories, generosity... And then, an unexpected event shakes us awake, stirring things up, rekindling the embers. Those that heat the Marmite, of course, but also the little twigs that fly off in twos, threes, fours, and so on. After the Marvelous Band, the trio Apollo took its place as the 'little brother' of the Workshop of Lyon. With simplicity and, undoubtedly, humility: covers of beautiful melodies by Gibert, ancient traditional themes, jazz classics with a Lyonnaise twist, etc. No pretension, but a commitment: to serve the music by playing it impeccably, to make it speak and shine, always with a sense of giving, joy, and an outstretched hand. Apollo: three 'musistronauts' who take you on a 'Surprise Journey' in the style of Prévert."
