Grand Orchestra of Jean Jacques Justafre (France) had its second birth in America thanks to the efforts of USA producers Alexander Goldstein and Boris Lontsikh. The producers reached out to Grand Orchestra of Jean Jacques Justafre (GOJJJ) leader, one of the last conductors of the legendary Grand Orchestra de Paul Mauriat. GOJJJ is welcome in many countries primarily for its efforts to preserve the style, and most importantly, the sound of Paul Mauriat’s orchestra.
The producers gave GOJJJ a very different challenge. They carefully selected music material and style for the new arrangements, so that on the one hand, it would be recognizable to a wide circle of music fans, and on the other, introduce a new big symphonic orchestra sound of the 21st century. Arrangements for GOJJJ were written by Gilles Arcens (France). The vocalise parts sought new talent with an enticing voice. The producers turned to Russian soprano, Victoria, whose broad artistic range is ideal for classical, folk and contemporary repertoire.
GOJJJ was recorded at the renowned Grand Armee studio in Paris, where Victoria joined them as well. Following orchestra recording, the producers made a decision to further escalate the new sound by adding additional arrangements for drums & percussions group. Those were written by Mikhail Bourmistrov (USA) and Alexander Goldstein (USA) and recorded in NYC. Final mixing was done in Florida, USA. “Clean” symphonic versions were so unlike their drums & percussions counterparts, that the producers decided to include them as bonus tracks.
As a result, GOJJJ stopped being purely the carrier of Grand Orchesre de Paul Mauriat traditional sound, and acquired its own style and sound. The 15 tracks of the new CD include new arrangements of classics, folk, rock and film music. «Waltz For Paul Maurat,» written by Alexander Goldstein, lent its name to the entire disc.
Packaged in the six-panel Digipac, the CD is now available at Amazon.com, eBay.com and SportMusic.com. Retail price $29.99. Also contact the publisher for special conditions.
