“He stays away from all that”
“Alain Chamfort is there at the piano, looking for inspiration, the blue note. And surprise, the camera takes us into Juliette Armanet’s studio, then into the friendly intimacy of Souchon and Voulzyfrom Cabrel to Astaffort, Jeanne Cherhal and Keren Ann at home, Véronique Sanson in her dressing room, Aubert at the seaside, Daho in Saint-Malo, Julien Clerc at the piano, Delerm and his cat, Dominique A at the café… What a cast!” , report our colleagues.
Unfortunately, Alain Chamfort would have liked to be able to count on the presence of Mylène Farmer and Jean-Jacques Goldman. But the two artists did not wish to participate. “I am happy to have succeeded in bringing together all these brothers and sisters whom I admire. I would have liked there to be more women, but some did not accept. I tried it with Mylène (Farmer)but she had never participated in such a project, and Jean-Jacques (Goldman) now stays away from all that. And I respect him”, he explained.
Despite the absence of his friends, Alain Chamfort is making a comeback!
