Jean-Luc Fillon
Jean-Luc Fillon is a French multi-instrumentalist ( oboe , English horn , double bass , bass guitar ) who is also active as a conductor and composer . Fillon (re) discovered the oboe, which had been largely restricted to classical music in recent decades, for improvised music and in the process created a new sound in jazz .
Live and act
Fillon studied classical music and oboe at the conservatories of Aubervilliers and Versailles before moving to the Paris Conservatory . He was awarded at the chamber music competition in San Sebastian and also studied improvisation and composition at the Center d'informations musicales in Paris.
Between 1987 and 1991 he was then solo oboist in the Orchester Symphonique d'Europe . In 1991 he founded his Jazzogène Orchestra , with which he recorded several records and performed at the jazz festivals in Vienne and Besançon with Antoine Hervé , Lauren Newton , Claudio Pontiggia and Franck Tortiller . In 1996 he moved more towards world jazz and founded the Trio Coyoakan ; with the sextet Alborada he dedicated himself to world music . In 1998 and 2000 he went on tour with Bob Mintzer . He also performed with Nguyên Lê , Pierre Blanchard , Lauren Newton, Claudio Pontiggia, Yves Torchinsky and Pierre-Marie Bonafos.
Since 2001, Fillon has written numerous compositions that represent the springboard for improvisations on the oboe and cor anglais, some of which were presented by the Orchester National de Jazz under the direction of Paolo Damiani . In 2002 he recorded his compositions with Denis Leloup, Pierre Blanchard and Joël Grare; the resulting album Oboa was a success. The album Flea Market followed with his De L'air quartet (with Carole Hémard, Yves Torchinsky and Xavier Dessandre) . He toured internationally and also appeared in the USA with bassoonists Paul Hanson and Michael Rabinowitz . More albums followed; in the Oborigins project he worked with João Paulo and Jarrod Cagwin as well as Michel Benita . In 2012, he brought Mark Feldman to his trio Echoes of Freedom (with François Méchali and Barry Altschul ) .
He also played in Newance Quartet of Glenn Ferris (with Jeff Boudreaux and Michel Benita ) and Claude Barthelemy project songs . He can also be heard on Patrice Caratini 's albums.
In 2001 he was appointed professor at the Cergy-Pontoise Conservatory .
