About Jean-Daniel Botta

As a bassist, Jean-Daniel Botta has accompanied many jazz musicians of the Parisian scene, and also American musicians as Eddie Henderson and Robert Glasper. He also played in the play "Love Supreme", in homage to John Coltrane. He also founded the rock band named "La Furia" with whom he assured big concerts with FFF and Silmarils. And then suddenly, Jean-Daniel decided to write and record french songs, writing lyrics that blend humor with malice and melancholy, creating mysterious or funny characters, french songs in which the overlap jingles merrily on clever hacks. He was selected by Semaphore Song Festival and won the SACEM prize of 2006 songwriter. As a composer, he began working on the texts of Leonore Boulanger who published her first album "Contretemps". Onstage, he also accompanies the singer Mouzanar at the Boule Noire in Paris. In 2008, he participated in the creation of the label "Le Saule", then plays at Le Zèbre de Belleville and released his first album "Papillons de Paris." On this first album, there are obviously other members of the label "Le Saule" - Philippe Crab on guitar, Antoine Loyer and Leonore Boulanger's vocals - but also his loyal companions Laurent Series and Alexandre Saada, a jazz musician who recorded a criticial acclaimed first album, "Panic Circus", on which Jean-Daniel Botta plays and sings. The arrival in this team of Kais Saadi's oud finally added a new color in the Eastern world music of Jean-Daniel Botta, always open to pop, jazz, folk and traditional songs.
