Born in 1977, Jeremy Tordjman travelled
through African lands since his childhood, passing from Morocco to Comoro
Islands, immersing himself instinctively in the music and traditions of the
people he was close to.
He took an early hold of the instruments at his
disposal in his family, and he was naturally attracted towards the guitar, later
forsaking the bass guitar, his first
instrument.
After a few years of teaching himself and several
experiments in Rock, Blues, Funk, he turns more and more towards Jazz and its
derivatives, fusion, world, jazz-rock, free
jazz,...
He takes part in various training courses for
guitar, in Cannes (Music Passion) or in Corsica (Patrimonio Festival), and he
benefits from the advice of teachers such as Philippe Catherine, Robben Ford,
Patrick Rondat, Sylvain Luc, Sylvestre Planchais, Jean-Marie Ecay, etc.
As he felt the need of an official teaching, he
studies under the authority of Gilles Renne in the CIM, the most reputed
Jazz school in Paris, where he also lives and plays. There he has various
encounters and Jazz experiments, especially in the club "Le Baiser Salé",
where he is noticed by well-known musicians in France such as Benjamin
Hénocq, Paco Sery, Linley Marthe, Herve Krief,...
At the same time, his qualities as an eclectic
musician are requested for arrangements, radio jingles, and various
compositions. He arranges and records the two albums of the Senegalese singer
Kara (Sante Yallah - Ndiyam), some pieces for the Senegalese
singer Woz Kaly or Choubene Brothers Raï
Band.
If he still composes musical songs, in a Pop,
Soul or Hip Hop R'n'B style, his meetings with African musicians and
his participation in Senegalese or Guinean bands, Missal, Kara, Maciré Sylla,
Woz Kaly, bring him back to the rhythms he's so fond of.
In that way, his band JEREMY TORDJMAN PROJECT was formed, which mixes effectively Jazz-Fusion and World Music
on his own compositions, this group being the digest of his musical influences
and experiments.
Some talented musicians appear in his band, the
saxophonists Stefano Saccon, Guillaume Perret, Ernie Odoom, who are
famous in Switzerland, or Emile Parisien, who plays with Paco Sery,
Remi Vignolo, Wynton Marsalis,...
Noticed by clubs and festival directors, he ensured
the first part of Marcus Miller and Youssou N'Dour band concerts.
His first album "Sambuka", was released in Summer 2005.
JEREMY TORDJMAN PROJECT
The band in sextet :Jazz, Blues, Rock, Funk and World Music, Jeremy Tordjman has dipped his guitar into all the shades of this
musical palette, with pastel or bright tints, to draw and sign his own compositions.
These are paintings in which bring together, in a relief landscape, inspired ballads, themes in fusion, energetic melodies,
for horizon heat, audacity and enthusiasm supported by the musicians who accompany him.
He does not claim to invent a new idiom, nor even to hustle anything. His objective is to move and touch. That's all.
His music cultivates the contrasts, airy or percussive, colourful or mixed, exceeding the traditional frame of Jazz.
An obviousness both for neophytes and music lovers.

« Jeremy has proved un real talent as a composer and arranger. His guitar player's hand is highly skilled.
Very neat harmonies, very worked themes, there are all the ingredients of a refreshing new record !
Sambuka is a highly successful and very promising first album. » (Guitarist Magazine - January 2006)
« On the blackboard, he threw large strokes of colours, a rainbow, tinted with a delicate balance of
precise improvisations, open on his inner travels. Virtuosity, generosity and a strange sobriety have floated
in the courtyard of the castle, like a fruit delicately matured for these last years, giving to the jazz what it has
of the most essential. » (Le Dauphiné-July 24th 2004)« His band of five musicians takes us to inspired ballads, themes in fusion, energetic melodies. He's said to be
a true hope for jazz music. »(Le Dauphiné - July 21st 2004)« A show of a great class, a flawless quality and a freshness which reminds you that music can be simply a
timeless moment to share, when your spirit escapes so far that you find it hard to come back down to earth. »
(Web - October 24th 2003)« A well balanced fusion and world music in which the sincerity of jazz mixes with the blues.. »
(Le Dauphiné - February 2003)« Radio, musical accompaniment for some plays, studios, organization of jam sessions, festivals, concerts,
radio jingles compositions, every music interests Jeremy, known as an eclectic musician with
different backgrounds. »(Le Dauphiné - February 12th 2003)« Born in Morocco in a family who travelled a lot, the young guitarist was interested in the particularly
rich African music, from which he created the style of his quintet, a fusion between jazz, world music and
funk-groove. » (Le Messager - February 6th 2003)
