Solstice in Music
What's better than a tradition ? Every year, summer is coming with its procession of events and entertainements of which people never get tired of. The summer solstice on June the 21st is the longest day of the year... a gift for our Music Festival Day which encounters more and more success year after year. This is a universal "rendez-vous" for all generations, and an opportunity for me to play every year with the "Mirajazz band" at Saint Germain des Prés, in the heart of Paris.

Have a look in our "Calendar" for more information.
This summer will offer you a lot of events all around the world : the Russia tour of the "Harmonicas de France Orchestra", the 45th birthday of the SPAH Convention in Saint Louis, Missouri, and, in the first days of Autumn, the "7th Asia Pacific Festival" at Hangzhou, China, to which I'll participate.

I have also the pleasure to welcome Zimbabwe, the 104th country to join jeanlabre.com, and more specially its anonymous cybernaut, symbol of the universal harmonica family.

The first warmth will soon be there. To get some fresh air, if you should give in to the temptation to go to the beach, beware of the sand... it's the worst enemy of our mouthorgan !
