Bruce Ellison began as a mime and voice-over artist for American television, as well as in musicals. In 1981, he arrived in Paris and joined the Marceau mime school. Founder with Michel Carcan of the Théâtre de la Mandragore, he also lends his voice to a number of advertising campaigns as well as children's programs. He is also the lead singer of the rock band PPZ30. He is the director and actor of the strange Mister Knight. With The Jellodies he proves to be an excellent singer in the color and antics of Thomas Fats Waller and the sung Jazz of Louis Armstrong
The Jellodies is a group inspired by the famous trio: Art Tatum-Charlie Christian-Ray Brown:
Pat Louis (guitar and vocals) who moves from blues to jazz repertoire with a playing marked in particular by Freddie Green, Tiny Grimes and the great Charlie Christian;
Druss Lecomte (piano and vocals) whose colorful playing will remind you of the swing of Count Basie and Nat King Cole, the stride of Thomas "Fats" Waller, James P. Johnson, the humor of Erroll Garner, the playing of 'Art Tatum. He opened for Fats Domino and Ray Charles. He has a long career as a jazz, blues, ragtime, stride piano, swing and boogie woogie pianist. At his first concert, at the Os à Moelle in Brussels, he was only...17 years old;
Guillaume Durieux (double bass and vocals), the youngest of the trio, already has superb technique and very high level slap.
The Jellodies is the swing and jive of the Nat King Cole Trio, Count Basie's rhythm section but also Willie Dixon's Big Three Trio, all this for our greatest happiness, "groove" wickedly!.. .
The alchemy that results from the meeting between Bruce Ellison and The Jellodies is absolutely magical.
