For over twenty years, Fred Pallem has conducted masterfully Le Sacre du Tympan, one of the most fascinating jazz music ensemble. This modern and atypical big band has drawn attention to itself thanks to its ability to embody a jazz brass band as well as a pop or rock one. Fred Pallem & his fellows come from a frendzied world, away from the waymarked paths of jazz. They have developed a unique sound along nine albums, and the orchestra has performed in many festivals and venues in France and abroad. (from L’Olympia in Paris to the Montréal Jazz Festival)
Fred Pallem & Le Sacre du Tympan has been rewarded by several music awards.
