Pierre Baillot talks about his background as a jazz musician and creator of The Maïdo Project. We also discuss the influence of ethnic music on the Paris scene and the difficulties of getting recognition in a city known for its overwhelming arts offerings.

This episode includes five great tracks from the Maïdo Project. You can learn more about them on their website—check it out!

The Maïdo Project had already released two albums when we recorded this conversation in 2007: “Electric Blue” and “Safran.” Since then they’ve released more albums, including “Silk and Musk” (2015) on Universal Music, and “Opium Lounge” (2013). You can buy their music at iTunes. Please give them your support and buy their tracks or see them perform live.

Merci beaucoup à Pierre pour l’interview.
