London life, a dash of tango and a spoon full of sounds
On tango, concerts, music discoveries, shows and life in London.
And maybe also about sailing, dancing tango, concerts, tall ships, football and rugby, jazz, adventures, the saxophone, social medias, art exhibitions, wooden floors, cooking and markets, clean and green tech, high tech and geekdom, city cycling, mountains, knots... I am just curious!
Get in touch!

Journey from Alice Coltrane
We went to Ronnie Scott's last night which is a jazz institution and the finest venue in London. The night was curated by Gilles Peterson with Nostalgia 77 and Keith and Julie Tippett as special guests as the main act. It was a real privilege to hear them together.
I was really impressed by the support of Matt Halsall's band. Hat's off for choosing in their set a composition by Alice Coltrane with the harp. It was the first time I listen to this live after loving them for many years on record.
So a bit of Matthew Halsall's band:

French California
This photo of dusk on the oyster parks is taken from a weekend on the Bassin d'Arcachon in France. It's a stunning area between the Atlantic and the pine trees where my family have ties going back a fair bit. It's also the French "California": a new country built in the 1860s by the railroad, the fair weather and the sea, and it's own mini "gold rush" for the pine trees sap.

Cool project for London: they are looking for some rebranding work for this fair city and are doing it openly on the web and it's all driven by the public.
