J.M. Jarre Magazine – A kind of Fanclub or something like that
2011 marks the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Houston and Lyon concerts. One of the musicians who were on that legendary concerts was Kirk Whalum who performed live Ron’s Piece, a song made for Ron MacNair to be played on the Challenger space-shuttle. Kirk Whalum kindly gave us this interesting interview.
After a research on Internet, our friend Víctor “Zzero” Maqueda finally made contact with that strange man who joined Jean Michel Jarre in the single “Freedom Day”/”Synthetic Man“, Samuel Hobo. Nobody before, on the JMJ fan side, could ever make an interview with Hobo, so, we are glad to offer you this interview with this singer and musician. Enjoy it.
Íker Jiménez is a very famous spanish journalist, hosting very successful TV and radio shows, writer and… fan of Jean Michel Jarre. He has just released a double CD album (“Cuarto Milenio”) containing, among others, three JMJ tracks. Íker, very kindly, has given this moving interview to Fairlight Jarre.
Spanish music radio would not exist as we know it today without the work done by RAFAEL REVERT.

We are in summer time but Francis Rimbert doesn’t stop working. With the first leg of the tour with Jean Michel Jarre ended, Francis kindly offered this exclusive interview to Fairlight Jarre and www.francisrimbert.es
– Once you’ve finished the first part of the neverending In>Doors Tour with Jarre, don’t you feel tired or bored about playing the same music for 2 years?!?!? (I mean, this is an extra-large tour, and we’ve tour dates for March 2010!!)…
It’s not that much wearying to perform these tracks because most of the time the orchestration has been modified and in the other hand various parts are attributed with constant change. We evolved alot my friends Claude, Dominique and Jean-Michel, on the concept of LIVE performance. Trying to return to a direct approach of the music ; I.e. to use as much as possible the synthesizers of origin rather than to sample them. Even if it entails to endanger because technically speaking we should recognized that a ARP 2500 is much less safe than a FANTOM ROLAND. It is this way of thinking, this kind of philosophy which makes me feel good for each new adventure. And I am quite impatient to come back on stage in 2010 with some others “oldies” € ! I was speaking about synthesizers ! and not about people on scene ! ….. (lol)
