This is a tastly little Jazz number that is superb!</p><h2>Biography</h2><p>Pianist, songwriter, composer and singer Meddy Gerville is like a fresh summer breeze in a music world of rare exceptions. He is an exotic gem that has yet to be savored sufficiently by U.S. music listeners, yet he has been electrifying audiences the world over with his intricate and compelling synthesis of Jazz and Maloya, indigenous music of his native Reunion Island, for almost a decade. Meddy’s voice has been compared to Milton Nascimento and Al Jarreau, but these comparisons fail to capture the unique timbre and rhythmic intensity of his soulful and nuanced vocal approach. Likewise, his extraordinary compositional, pianistic and improvisational prowess is peerless in its conception and execution, all amply demonstrated on his U.S. debut CD, his seventh release worldwide, <strong><em>Fo Kronm La Vi</em></strong>.</p><p><em>“. . . Meddy Gervilles' version of ‘Blue Rondo’ is the fastest I've ever heard it played. He has remarkable technique. His improvisations show a great sense of composition and development . . .”</em></p><p> —<strong>Dave Brubeck</strong></p><p>Meddy was born in St. Pierre—the largest city in southern Reunion Island—in 1974, and each step in his musical journey has led him towards his unique fusion of Jazz and Maloya, characterized by rhythms of his native island played on various homegrown instruments including ‘rouler,’ ‘kayanm’ and ‘ravan’ drums, all of which help account for his astonishing originality. From the beginning of his career—when Meddy performed with Reunion’s most popular bands, Baster, Ti Fock and Sabouk, touring in Europe, Africa and the U.S.—to the release of his latest solo outing <em>Fo Kronm la vi </em>(2011), Meddy has been spellbinding audiences around the world with the sound of his Maloya Jazz. He has worked with world-class musicians such as Sixun bass player Michel Alibo, Dominique Di Piazza, percussion legend Giovanni Hidalgo, Cuban drummer Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernandez (voted Best World Music Drummer by <em>Modern Drummer Magazine</em> in 2011), Matthew Garrison (bassist with Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny) and World Music icon Danyèl Waro (winner of the 2010 WOMEX Artist Award in Copenhagen), to name but a few. </p><p><em>“The percussion is often in double time to give a quite explosive thrust to a song while Gerville’s melodic input enhances the propulsion through quicksilver phrases and the use of laser-like close harmony vocals that are themselves hotly percussive.”</em>—<strong>Kevin Le Gendre, <em>Jazzwise Magazine</em>, U.K.</strong></p><p><em>Fo Kronm La Vi </em>is a multi-layered palate of alluring, fresh sounds with an infectious, explosive polyrhythmic sensibility. At the same time, it is a brilliant preview of what Meddy Gerville is capable of in-person. Putting on <em>Fo Kronm La Vi </em>for an intimate evening or a sophisticated gathering is a sure bet, but seeing this talented, innovative performer live really brings home just how unique and engaging Meddy is. He has the ability to connect with his audience in a very direct and heart-felt way. ‘Artist’ is a word that is bandied about rather cavalierly these days, but in the world of music there are few as truly deserving of this honorific as Meddy Gerville.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I just wanted to let everyone know that we added an embedded song player for single songs also. My apologies since I thought we already had this. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you go to you Music Page and click the button under Review and Info, you will see an Embed Button. If you click that, there is now a cut and paste text box at the bottom. If you want to add a single song into a blog on Mixposure, just copy the text and once you create the blog, click the HTML button on the small menu above the text input area. This will bring up a popup box where you can paste the code embed code in. Then just click update and you will see a yellow box in the text area where the flash player will appear. Then just click Create Entry and you are all set. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We also added a Facebook Button at the top of the embed popup box. There is already a single song Facebook Player setup once you click the Review/Info Button but we thought we should have one in here also. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks for being a part of Mixposure!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></p>
