"During 3 days, Chazam & Monsieur Gadou, Champions d'Europe recorded in 20 different places, chozen for the quality of their own sounds, so they played with a baker shop, a highway, a zoo, a children school, a water tower, and more"

The first discographic recording of Chazam & Monsieur Gadou was done in April 1996. This recording was at the same time a 3 days musical performance. They didn't want to play alone in a anonymous studio becauses that was against their idea of musical heroism and their will of every note challenge, so they decided to play outside. In every places Chazam & Monsieur Gadou were sitting by on one position with their instruments. in every station the same precise ritual was followed : setting up / 10 minutes,soundcheck / 10 minutes, improvisation / 3 to 15 minutes, clearing / 10 minutes
movement to the next station.

The speed of every session was a condition to keep the musicians under the pressure and in a state of permanent surprise a a way to make surprising music.
Chazam & Monsieur GAdou are European Champions of musical improvisation since they win the first Competition of improvisation music in poitiers / France in 1993.
