(Redirected from Alain mion)
Alain Mion (born January 14, 1947 in Casablanca) is a French pianist, composer, arranger, and jazz singer.
Musical career[edit]
Influenced by Bobby Timmons, Ray Charles and Les McCann, his style varies between jazz, soul jazz and 'funky music'.
He created the legendary jazz funk group Cortex in 1974, before embarking upon a career under his own name in 1982.
His albums are known worldwide, notably 'Troupeau Bleu' and 'Volume 2' with Cortex (re-released several times and sampled by many musical artists and DJs). Also popular were albums under his own name, including 'Pheno-Men' which was used as a theme for many radio programs, 'Alain Mion in New York' recorded with David Binney and Marc Johnson, and 'Some Soul Food' recorded in Stockholm (Sweden) with Patrik Boman and Ronnie Gardiner.
In 2008, he appeared with a new group, Alain Mion FunKey Combo (with German drummer Michael Kerstin, Swedish bassist Patrik Boman, and a saxophone section consisting of Italian and French musicians: Loïc Soulat on alto, Pietro Tonolo on tenor and Romano Pratesi on baritone) then with his new group Alain Mion & The New Cortex which reunited for concerts at New Morning in 2009-10, with the singer Adeline de Lépinay reprising the role originally performed by Mireille Dalbray on the Troupeau Bleu album.
Filmed in concert and broadcast by Mezzo TV, the group's repertoire included both new and old compositions of Alain Mion, reflected in the new album 'Let's Groove', released on Trad Vibe Records and presented during a concert in Paris at Petit Journal Montparnasse en 2012.
In the United States, Alain Mion and Cortex's songs have been sampled by several hip-hop artists (including Madlib, Fat Joe, DJ Day, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Tyler The Creator, Rick Ross) and most recently Lupe Fiasco's Mural on his highly acclaimed album Tetsuo & Youth.
