Marc Minelli (Electronic Tracks)

Playing guitar and singing in Rock groups in the 80s, Marc Minelli was at first a fan of 60's British bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He was always open to other musical forms, and he heard and admired Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade in Paris in the early 80's. It was not until the late 90's that Marc began to listen seriously to Jazz. Even so, his first influences were not musicians of his own generation but were John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Charles Mingus.
