For Romain Leleu, what we call ‘classical’ music could never have gained all its richness and variety without absorbing manifold influences from ‘popular’ music that continues to be its fuel since the dawn of time.
Parallel to the release of his album of film music prominently featuring the trumpet, the French virtuoso, backed by his friends and partners in the Romain Leleu Sextet, has brought into a face to face dialogue a selection of hit tunes from far-flung sources that transcend genres and national borders.
