Hi everyone,

 

I want to invite you to the following event to celebrate with me and my band the life of the great Yves Montand. November 9 marks the 20th anniversary of his death and we are booked at the wonderful Triad Theater for that night and two more, November 23 and December 7. Here's some about the show itself:

 

 

 INTERNATIONAL SINGER JEAN BRASSARD

PAYS TRIBUTE TO YVES MONTAND

IN 'THE KID FROM PARIS'

COMMEMORATING 20 YEARS SINCE HIS DEATH

 

JEAN BRASSARD provides a musical tribute to YVES MONTAND - one of France's most pioneering stars and pillar of French chansons, in 'The Kid From Paris'. With three performances at the Triad Theater, the artist marks the 20th anniversary of Yves Montand's passing and what would have been his 90th birthday. Presenting eclectic French and English selections from Montand’s 50 year repertoire, Brassard’s solo tribute deftly laces songs, theatrical vignettes and a first rate narrative of the beloved French icon’s life, loves, passions and politics. Co-written with Brassard’s partner David Krueger, 'The Kid From Paris'. informs, moves, seduces and celebrates on many levels. Krueger directs and Brassard holds center stage.

 

  Yves Montand was a first-rate performer and so is Brassard... after seeing this charismatic showman, you will become a fan. (1)  

  The narrative thread is excellent, his voice superb and without imitating him, his evoking of Montand is first rate.  (2)

  (Brassard) reflected the grace and charisma of the sexy Italian from Marseille. (3)

  Jean Brassard’s exquisite performance demonstrated an imposing level of professional artistry. (4)
