From the homepage of Gong: Hadouk Honoured Posted Sun 10 Jun'07 Thanks to Luc Pilmeyer I can pass on the happy news that Didier Malherbe and the Hadouk Trio have received a prestigious music award in France, the 'Victoire du Jazz' as http://www.lesvictoires.com/Victoires/jazz/laureats.html - 'Artists of the Year' , the ceremony was also broadcast on the FR3 TV channel. 
Loy, Dider, Steve Looks as if Didier is about to try and get a tune out of the award - he probably could. The music business is so very bizarre. Hadouk's last album 'Utopies' sold over 16,000 copies in France last year and the band get this great acknowledgement from their peers. However because the album has no worldwide distribution to speak of it has sold 150 copies in the entire rest of the planet (about half of those via this website, the rest in Canada probably), and the band couldn't get arrested the UK let alone sell out a gig. Very odd. Still we love them and so apparently do France. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

BF Thanks for the heads up on Hadouk. Checking Amazon.UK ,the band's 1999 album and Utopies are available and ordered them. Samples of the 1999 album can be briefly sampled at Amazon, and make good listening - world fusion? Also attempted to alert a few UK jazz journalists into paying attention to Hadouk's music ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.
