Guitarist Pascal Corriu is one of those artists who, far away from trends, evolve through multiple experiences without disowning the roots of their art.
Considered as one of the most talented heir of blues in the South of France, Pascal has always trusted his musical instinct to polish his act, his sound and to develop his own language, which draws its authenticity from the best standards of Jazz.

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004) known by his stage name Ray Charles, was a pioneering American pianist and soul musician who shaped the sound of rhythm and blues. He brought a soulful sound to country music, pop standards, and a rendition of “America the Beautiful” that Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes called the “definitive version of the song, an American anthem — a classic, just as the man who sang it.”
Frank Sinatra called him “the only true genius in the business.” And in 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Ray Charles #10 on their list of The Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
