Recently, I was watching a video interview between Jean-Marie Peyrin, a former buddy of mine at the Cluses School of Watchmaking by Kristin Marion for a local radio station, near Annecy, France.
Kristin started singing jazz at the age of 26, and has trained in jazz vocal and has participated in many workshops in schools and with jazz musicians. She completed her voice training in the US with online sessions at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Since August 2014 she has been the official Jazz Education Network representative in France.
In this informative and captivating exchange, Jean-Marie explains to us how he managed to merge Jazz and Watchmaking and retains an intense passion for both fields which don’t seem to have much in common.
I was also very impressed by the depth of knowledge of my former classmate and air force buddy (yes, we both served together in Salon de Provence, the equivalent of Colorado Springs Air Force Academy!) He knows his stuff and it shows.
Although the exchange lasts 38 minutes, if you understand French, I recommend that you invest some of your free-time to watch it!
