Jacques Lagesse
Jacques Lagesse is an entertainer with a
velvet-lined voice, accompanied by the mellow tones
of the acoustic and jazz guitars. Apart from the
soft percussive rhythm machine, all music is played
entirely
live.
A minimal set-up space is required.
Jacques has incorporated a cabaret set featuring
music from the Big Band Swing era, which is done to
backing tracks.
His repertoire consists mainly of popular brands of
Laid-back Jazz Standards and Evergreen Romantic
Ballads. With his classic dress sense, one is
reminded of Sinatra in his hey- day.
Born from Mauritian stock, Jacques has a strong
flair for Latin rhythms and has included many Bossa
Nova and Samba tunes to his expansive repertoire. He
enjoyed a contract in Dubai where he performed to a
cosmopolitan audience at a few of the major hotels.
Jacques continues to record the Music of
Yester-years and some original songs in his own
studio – music that he feels should be shared with
all ages…. |
