Durium Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 CHARQUET et CO If you grew up in the 1970s in The Netherlands or Belgium and you didn't like bands like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, you might have been a fan of the music of Charquet. These French boys toured along Dutch and Belgian venues and all concerts were jam packed! One of those concerts in Gentbrugge ( June 1976) was released n 1988. Charquet et Co: Live recording Gentbrugge (Belgium) 1976 Keep swinging Durium Quote
Larry Kart Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 Info on this thread: about the still-active and excellent successor band to Charquet and Co., Le Petite Jazzband, also led by Morel. Also worthwhile is Morel's larger ensemble Les Rois de Foxtrot. Both bands' recordings are available on Stomp Off, all highly recommended. As the clips above show, this is not a typical revival band at all, at least not IMO. Quote
Larry Kart Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 Lots of Charquet and Co. videos ((at least twelve) are available on YouTube. Just search for "Charquet." Quote
