Our Guest of Honor

Janet Hulstrand Writer and Expert On Champagne

LET'S DRINK CHAMPAGNE, KEEP COOL AND THINK OF THE CHAMPAGNE REGION Writer Janet Hustrand conducts "Writing From The Heart" workshops" in Champagne Essoyes. What a fascinating region that creates bubbly but also creativity: It inspired Pierre-August Renoir and Jean Renoir among others.

Let's learn about the region in fabulous images and also about Janet's writing workshops. And drink champagne And it's the anniversary of Patricia's arrival in Paris years ago. (August 1st. No idea that I would still be here now)

From Janet: "I think what I should focus on the region (especially l'Aube), about which I have written recently: http://www.bonjourparis.com/story/two-hours-paris-world-apart-laube-en-champagne

So the main focus of my talk would be this absolutely wonderful, and somewhat undervisited, area of France that is just a couple of hours away from Paris..I will talk about the region (l'Aube),
I will talk about some cool places to visit there (including but not limited to fun places to visit where champagne is made) and I will talk a little bit about Essoyes, village beloved by the Renoirs...and a very little bit about the class I will be holding there in October..."

Sounds good to me! - Patricia

MORE BOSSA NOVA. HOMAGE TO ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM (TOM JOBIM) A FATHER OF BOSSA NOVA AND MODERN BRASILIAN MUSIC

Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim

Guitarist and vocalist YVES LE Goff will interpret the songs of Antonio Carlos Jobim, a founder of BOSSA NOVA who launched such international stars as Astrud Gilberto.

Yves, who plays guitar and sings, dedicates his musical life to Jobim. It’s a passion that just happened. He can’t explain it. He says that some musicians dedicate themselves to Bach or Mozart and he dedicates himself to Jobim.

When I first spoke with Yves about Gobim, I confessed that I didn’t know anything about him. Then I googled and I found the story of an amazingly talented songwriter and vocalist who wrote songs for “Orfeo Negro” (“Black Orpheus”- including “Someone To Light Up My Life”), collaborated with Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto on one of the best selling jazz albums of all time, “Getz/Gilberto” and who wrote songs that launched the Bossa Nova movement/style: “The Girl From Ipanema” and “Corcovado”. These songs made Astrud Gilberto an international sensation and “The Girl from Ipanema” was record of the year in 1964. They endured. (Grammy awards). We all still sing them.

I looked at photos which show a strikingly handsome young man and a gorgeously cute older hom you can't help but adore.

Jobim's musical roots were planted firmly in the work of Pixinguinha, the legendary musician and composer who began modern Brazilian music in the 1930s. Among his teachers were Lúcia Branco, and, from 1941 on, Hans-Joachim Koellreutter. Jobim was also influenced by the French composers Claude Debussy and Ravel, and by Jazz. Among many themes, his lyrics talked about love, self discovery, betrayal, joy and especially about the birds and natural wonders of Brazil, like the "Mata Atlântica" forest, characters of Brazilian folklore like Matita Pereira (Saci Pererê), and his home city of Rio de Janeiro (His childhood neighborhood was Ipanema). His family, of French origin, emigrated to Brazil in the17th century.

There are many sites. I liked www.jobin.com.br

Visit Patricia's website - http://www.parissoirees.com/

For Expats of all origins, French and Visitors. (All Ages)

THIS SUNDAY WILL BE ANOTHER GREAT MUSICAL EVENING!

"Sultry Songs For A Summer Evening: A Good Song Tells A Story!"

Sunday 11 July at 19h00. In the Latin Quarter. m° St Michel (Details with reservation)

Our Special Guest will be:

CONNIE FREDERICKS MALONE

Vocalist

In the states, Connie spent 20 years performing in musical theatre,
day-time and prime-time television, commercials and cabaret/night club
venues. Her first love is singing, and she possesses a powerful four
octave range. A versatile performer, Connie sings gospel, jazz standards

and r&b soul favorites. She especially loves the intimacy of the cabaret
club performance setting. It was in the cabaret rooms of Manhattan where
she honed her nightclub performance skills and settled on a repertoire of
songs that has remained close to her heart.
Connie feels this way about her material:

“A good song tells a story. The story must resonate in the heart and soul.

As an actress I am attracted to the drama in a song. The arrangement and
melody may draw my attention to a particular work, but it is the lyrics,
the story, that compel me to sing it. ”

Currently, Connie and her husband, Jim, reside in the
Finger Lakes region of New York State where she performs frequently.

Hope to see you then! Patricia

It's €20.00 at the door. Reservations with your telephone number (Thanks!) on parissoirees@gmail or telephone 33 6 43 79 35 18. (Sundays telephone only. If you emailed me but didn't hear back, please call.) Thanks for exact change and if you have ANY card or brochure, please bring one.
