"Philppe LeJeune is an international Boogie Woogie Jazz & Blues pianist who performs throughout Europe, Africa and the States performing his special blend of these American styles of music. He's performed at the Detroit Jazz Festival three times, Toledo Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Festival, Cincinnati Blues Festival, and was recorded live on the Motor City Blues & Boogie Woogie Festival in Detroit by PBS in 2005. He recorded with the great Memphis Slim in Paris, France in 1980."

Joining Philippe are his regular players from Lowell, Herman Hampton, a Berklee assistant professor, on acoustic bass and Stanley Swann, a Berklee's Five Week summer program instructor and a member on the Lowell Culture Council on drums, with special guest, one of Toulouse top guitarist and teacher, Dominique Lambrey. The mix of styles of American music with French spice makes for a wonderful evening of music to enjoy from these four skillful and tasty musicians. "
