Side Jams with Bryan Reesman

Episode 2: Jean-Michel Jarre

May 24, 2019

French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre has toured the globe, sold an estimated 80 million albums, and holds the Guinness Book record for largest outdoor concert attendance (3.5 million people). He's also a down-to-earth person who loves painting, sci-fi, and movies. In this episode, we discuss those Side Jams and how they relate to his career. He and I also explore how artists engage the world, from our ever escalating aspirations to keeping up with the constant barrage of new releases. This interview was conducted in the rooftop bar of the Knickerbocker Hotel in NYC.

Welcome to the Debut of “Side Jams”!

French electronic music legend Jean-Michel Jarre, a prolific artist who loves painting, science fiction, and movies. Those interests actually dovetail into the music and artwork for his albums, but they still allowed for a really interesting conversation that stepped outside of his musical pursuits. I loved hearing about his friendship with Arthur C. Clarke and how he sold his own paintings as a teen.
