Russian Tour by J.J. Justafre's Orchestra

Submitted by ferper on Thu, 02/17/2011 - 00:26

Jean-Jacques JustafreThe Jean-Jacques Justafre Orchestra toured in October and November of 2010 in Russia and near countries. The concerts were full of controversy due to the unethical way of promoting the concerts, which prompted the reaction by Paul Mauriat's widow, Mrs. Irene Mauriat, and also because part of the audience was expecting some arrangements closer to Mauriat's arrangements and what they received were other arrangements and only a few of the themes that were popular with the Mauriat orchestra.

Despite all of this, it is good that there is still room for some orchestras to be touring and let's hope that there are more concerts but without relating to the immortal arrangements of Paul Mauriat.

We're back!
