Par DAYAN JEAN-LUC. Batteur, compositeur, professeur, auteur intermittent (de méthodes de batterie, par exemple), accessoirement chef d'orchestre et consultant événementiel, Jean-Luc Dayan est professionnel depuis... Et mince, il n'a pas envie de se rappeler la date ! Jean-Luc pense toujours très fort à Gus Wallez et à Marcel Blanche, ses deux mentors musicaux, dont les inestimables conseils l'ont aidé et l'aident encore à accompagner des chanteurs(ses) aussi différents(tes) que Serge Gainsbourg, Jean Guidoni, Dorothée, Frédéric François, François Valéry, Patrick Bruel, Serge Reggiani, Jane Manson, Jeanne Moreau, Lavelle, Dee-Dee Bridgewater, Liza Minnelli, Nathalie Cole, Puff Daddy, Danny Brillant, Guy Marchand, Victor Laszlo, Lee John, Samy Goz, Gérard Darmon, Cunny Williams... à jouer avec des maîtres musiciens tels que Lionel Hampton, Larry Corryell, Hubert Laws, Claude Bolling, Herbie Mann, Charlie Bird, Ivan Jullien, Clark Terry, James Moody, Jack Wilkins, Akira Jimbo, Russell Malone, Walfredo Reyes, Maurice André, Yo-Yo Ma, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Alexandre Lagoya, l'English Chamber Orchestra... ou à battre la mesure dans la pénombre de fosses d'orchestre, tant pour des revues 'à plumes” que pour des ' Broadway shows ' tels 42 th Streets ou Le Roi Lion. Bien qu'il continue d'espérer que les dieux du groove lui accorderont encore quelques temps la chance et le bonheur de parcourir le monde en compagnie de ses petites baguettes magiques, Jean-Luc Dayan a désormais, en parallèle à une activité régulière au sein de deux structures pédagogiques, la grosse envie de laisser une toute petite trace de son aventure musicale au travers des travaux, davantage personnels, que représentent la composition de musiques, l'écriture de chansons… et la réalisation d'ouvrages du genre de celui que vous tenez entre les mains !/ Etude / Percussions
