From popular Paris where he was born to the gilding of the Opéra Garnier, from the Arctic Circle to South Africa, from Shanghai to Havana via the Nice Jazz Festival with B.B. King, from blues to country and Celtic melodies to the soul of Memphis, Jean-Jacques Milteau has always shown that borders celebrate the differences that define humanity.
He owes this journey to the harmonica which allowed him to meet a series of encounters: Gil Scott-Heron, Eddy Mitchell, Terry Callier, Barbara, Little Milton…. In around twenty albums and two Victoires de la Musique, Milteau has been able to translate the world by putting his virtuosity at the service of pure emotion.
His new collection, “Key to the Highway,” is no exception. Milteau's art, timeless and universal, takes us along a luminous road of which the harmonica is the key.
