Denis Phan – le pionnier français de la promotion du bluegrass

 

Denis Phan

Dans les années 1970, Denis Phan a découvert le bluegrass grâce à Claude Lefebvre et à Jean Marie Redon. Il a ensuite joué un rôle important pour la musique folk et plus particulièrement pour le bluegrass, qu’il a contribué à promouvoir. A partir de sa boutique parisienne ‘Musimage’, il a été le premier en France à importer des disques de musique Bluegrass ainsi que des pièces de banjo et de dobro. Entre 1975 et 1978, il a créé Musigrass diffusion pour enregistrer et distribuer des disques, organiser des tournées, stages et concerts.

Dans ce cadre, il a produit des enregistrements de groupes mixtes de musiciens français et américains comme, notamment dans les deux albums ‘Paris Banjo Session’ qui ont largement contribué à la découverte de cet instrument en France, mais aussi en Europe.

Il a ensuite produit le premier disque de Christian Seguret « Old Fashion Love » (1977); il a également assuré la production exécutive (pour les disques Cezame) de l’album de Jean Marie Redon « Banjoïstiquement Vôtre » (enregistré en 1978),

Agent de Bill Keith, il a organisé ses tournées en France entre 1974 et 1978, d’abord avec Jim Rooney et Pierre Bensusan, puis avec Jim Collier, Christian Seguret, Kenny Kosek et Lionel Wendling, groupe qui a enregistré en 1978 le disque « Bill Keith & Jim Collier », pour lequel Denis a été producteur assistant.

Il a organisé des stages de musique Folk à Costebelle (Hyeres) en 1975 & 1976, puis à Courville-sur-Eure en 1977 & 1978.

Il a organisé trois festivals de musique Folk à Courville sur Eure en 1976,1977 et 1978, avec en particulier la participation des américains Wendy Miller et Mike Lilly (avec J.C. Druot, en 1976), Bill Keith, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Darol Anger (en 1977) Bill Keith et Jim Collier, Kenny Kosek, Tony Trischka, Russ Barenberg (avec Christian Seguret, et Lionel Wendling) et Lou Reid…

Il a mis fin à ses activités dans le domaine musical pour reprendre des études fin 1978.
De nos jours, il produit une chaine de vidéos sur Youtube

A noter spécialement des vidéos passionnantes sur la discographie de Bill Keith: Discography of the Banjo Legend Bill Keith (avec musique)

Avec la traduction française des commentaires

Ces contributions music-mémorielles font partie d’un projet qui devrait être développé sur une partie de son blog (en construction), consacrée à l’histoire du « bluegrass ‘progressif’ : discographies, trajectoires et affinités », à travers l’exemple de plusieurs « boomers », musiciens d’exception, qui ont marqué l’évolution du bluegrass dans le dernier quart du XX° siècle.
