Fillon Jean-Luc

Marigaux Altuglass Oboe

Instigator of a quite new and surprising project in the Jazz world, Jean-Luc Fillon is a multipurpose musician whom’s development is split between Jazz (orchestra directing ‘’Jazzogène Orchestra’’ , bass, oboe soloist et double bass – “Coyoakan” trio) and Calssic Music (oboe soloist in the European Symphonic Orchestra, member of the ‘’Alborada’’ sextet). Years passing, Jean-Luc developped a real original art aiming to inject a totally new sound in Jazz and Improvised Music. In 1998 and 2000, he toured with Bob Mintzer (tenor sax) and the Coyoakan trio, who greatly supported this new style of music ; Bob Mintzer even composed a piece for oboe and saxophone titled ‘’French Suite’’. Jean-Luc Fillon cooperates as an oboe and English Horn soloist with several famous Jazz artists like Antoine Hervé, Lauren Newton, N’Guyen Lê, Bob Mintzer, Claudio Pontiggia, Yves Torchinsky, Carole Hémard, François Moutin, Franck Tortiller, Pierre Blanchard… After lots of concerts in Paris (Le Duc des Lombards, France Musiques, Les 7 Lézards…) in october / november 2002, he forms a new project with Joao Paulo who joins ‘’Oboa’’ (to become a quintet) with a view to also register a new disc, inviting the Italian drummer Carlo Rizzo as a guest star.
