LE TEMPS D'UN JAZZ.
Daniel Roure (p, voc), Paul Pioli (g), Francesco Castellani (tb), Fabien Giacchi (b), Gilles Alamel (dm) in March 2001, Marseille. 42 '38'
Daniel Roure saw his album « Le Temps D'un Jazz »on a jazz broadcast to more than 6 million times on Pandora Radio (USA). He made a remarkable breakthrough in the ratings of internet radios, the United States, Canada and Australia. By Jove! We're impressed! Daniel Roure has a deep voice, pleasant, well-modulated with perfect diction, the relaxation, charm. I sometimes find him accents Jean Sablon especially in the low and slow tempos; he shows, very gentle. For this record he is surrounded by great jazz musicians of the South-East of France. There is sometimes a certain perfume King Cole trio with Pioli in the role of Oscar Moore and Giacchi in that of Wesley Prince such as in "I saw" plus a discreet drummer. it scales well. A nice trombone solo on "Un Petit Bateau" kind bossa nova. All trombone solos are very good, as well as guitarist. "j'ai vu" which is actually an adaptation of "Rosetta" is perhaps, the best time of the disk, so swing song that fits perfectly with the group. Other pieces are as French as adaptations of standards. The song "Les Baleines Bleues »Blue has a lot of charm and quiet up. No, it makes a surprising unhappiness among Anglo-Saxon who like this "French touch" with the sound of the French bonus. The first song says "it's time for a jazz of yesteryear" That's exactly right, beautiful swing song with clever lyrics, all in a beautiful musical setting. Serge Baudot. JAZZHOT 2014 - Serge Baudot

Les chansons de Daniel Roure, succès d'écoute sur Pandora
Les chansons du pianiste et compositeur Daniel Roure connaissent le succès sur la radio numérique américaine Pandora. Son troisième album, Bar de Nuit, est sorti le 1er mars.

Daniel Roure est Marseillais et passe environ cinq mois par an en Californie, près des vignobles de Sonoma, dans un cadre qui lui rappelle la Provence. Depuis son installation outre-Atlantique, les Etats-Unis le séduisent comme "terre d’accueil pour la musique" où il retrouve avec plaisir l’esprit originel du jazz. Une des chansons de son dernier album est d'ailleurs intitulée "Arizona", Etat qu’il "adore pour son côté hostile et surprenant, la sécheresse de ses étés et la froideur de ses hivers".

Né dans une famille de médecins et de musiciens, Daniel Roure a embrassé la tradition. Le docteur Roure est un autodidacte de la musique. Il débute le piano à la maison à 6 ans, puis prend des cours de contrebasse au conservatoire. Le grand large occupe une place importante dans ses compositions. Daniel Roure navigue toute au long de l’année, conciliant parfois sa profession et sa pratique musicale lors de grandes croisières.

Dans ses influences, Daniel Roure cite Charles Trenet et Yves Montand côté français, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Oscar Peterson, Franck Sinatra côté américain. "Dans les pianistes, Fats Wallers est mon héros" précise-t-il.

Si ses compositions "n’impressionnent personne en France" en l’absence de label, Daniel Roure a trouvé son public aux Etats-Unis sur la toile. En 2008, Il envoie son album Le temps d’un jazz à la radio Pandora. La plateforme SoundExchange s’occupe de la gestion de ses royalties. L’album est un succès, écouté de 15 000 à 20 000 fois par jour et est téléchargé environ 500 fois par mois. Sur Pandora, les artistes touchent 9 dollars pour 10 000 diffusion radio. Daniel Roure est très content de ce succès car "ce sont les poussières d’écoutes qui font les grandes rivières". Même si les auditeurs ne saisissent pas les paroles, ils captent l’accent français et sont séduits par la rythmique swing du Français.

Pour Bar de Nuit, Daniel Roure a collaboré avec les frères musiciens Le Van (contrebasse et batterie), que l’on a pu écouter aux côtés de Didier Lockwood, Michel Legrand, Dee Dee Bridgewater ou Ray Charles. L’album est distribué par CD Baby et est disponible en écoute sur Jango et en téléchargement sur iTunes et Amazon. - Vincent Dozol

Review: Daniel Roure, Le Temps d’un Jazz

Daniel Roure, Le Temps d’un Jazz

Relying on the linguistics of music as the international language is not entirely necessary to fully appreciate Daniel Roure’s Le Temps d’un Jazz. The Marseille native has been immersed in jazz and French music his entire life. It is no surprise that his composing and performing prowess feels completely natural. Roure surrounds himself with a bevy of other talented Europeans who also share his enthusiasm and profundity for jazz. Other Marseille inhabitants include bassist Fabien Giacchi and drummer Alamel Gilles, both whom demonstrate stellar abilities to keep the strictest relaxed tempos. A huge asset to Roure’s collaboration is trombonist Francesco Castellani. The Italian born horn player has exquisite tone and is extremely lyrical and versatile on his instrument. Roure provides the vocals and piano work on the album as wells as penning half the music. His brother Jacques is the lyricist and arranger.

The opening title track, loosely translated, “Time to Jazz” immediately transports the listener to a quiet outdoor café day-dreamily sipping an espresso whilst a clove cigarette smolders in an ashtray on the table. Roure imbues his warm mature voice into the easily flowing tune. His first piano solo is bright but not flashy, nicely complimenting and dancing around the melody. Guitarist Paul Pioli plays the second solo imitating Roure’s style. “J’ai Vu” or “I Saw” features well executed noodling by the piano and guitar cleanly aligning with the walking bass.

A testament to Roure’s talents is his inclusion on the Vintage France album produced by Putumayo World Music, with the song “Les Baleines Bleues” or “The Blue Whale” featuring considerable range from both the vocals and trombone. “Un Petit Bateau” or “A Small Boat” is a pictorial song where an image is musically conjured from the opening falling whistle, like a swooping bird, to the calm clear tones of the trombone elucidating open water, to the jumping melody of the tossed little boat. The piano and vocals sing the chorus in a tight staccato and is joined by the trombone in the final recapitulation.

The Roure brothers have also creatively tried their hand at arrangements of classic American Jazz Songbook compositions. Irving Berlin’s “Cheek to Cheek” is emanated in “Déjà”. The stand up bass is finally given a solo in this number. Another early 1930’s tune “Rosetta” is reworked into “Je Lis Là” where the lively influence of swing music is apparent. Roure effortlessly scats around a cute little syncopated piano ditty. He repeats this same musical idea on the ivories in “Que Faisaient Nos Professeurs” taken from “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love”. A drum solo is heard bolstering the guitar in Henry Mancini’s “The Days of Wine and Roses” in the Roure’s reworked “Sais Tu”. Ending on a high note is “Dans Les Bois” from Duke Ellington’s 1931 hit “It Don’t Mean a Thing” featuring Roure adroitly jumping around the quick familiar melody.

Le Temps d’un Jazz is a fun work of nostalgia that holds dual affinities to both jazz and world music lovers. Daniel Roure and his compatriots are an absolute joy to listen to.
