Career

At the age of seven years, Jean -Claude Borrelly discovered his passion for the trumpet when he saw Louis Armstrong on television. Later Borrelly took an apprenticeship with a trumpeter who was employed by the Paris Opera. He became a professional musician in 1972 and appeared in numerous Parisian cabaret.

The breakthrough came in 1975 with the single Borrelly Dolannes melody. It reached # 1 on the singles charts of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In Germany she was four weeks at No. 1 in Austria also 4 weeks, and in Switzerland 14 weeks. But later he was on the commercial success of this single, at least in the German-speaking countries, not able to go. Dolannes melody was composed by Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, and was the soundtrack for the film Un n'a pas de poche linceul ( German Title: A shroud has no pocket). The song was nominated in the category of " Best Original Score " for a César.

In 1976 Concerto de la Mer, the successor of Dolannes melody, another hit in France. From 1977 to 1984 he toured in several countries ( Germany, South America, Mexico and Japan). From 1985 to 1986, he joined every week with his orchestra, which has also accompanied him on his tours, in the show " Cadence 3" in French television channel France 3. With an unusual show called " Trompette de feu " ( dt: Trumpet of Fire ) drew Borrelly with his orchestra by 60 French cities. In this show, he combined his trumpet playing with fireworks and laser shows. The New York businessman Warner LeRoy offered Borrelly an appearance at his restaurant " Tavern on the Green " that is located in Central Park, and he offered him further appearances in many U.S. cities (eg, Miami, Boston, San Diego, Dallas ). Jean -Claude Borrelly agreed. His success in the U.S. rose: From 1995 to 2000 he performed in Las Vegas. Nevertheless, he never was able to place an album or a single in the U.S. Billboard charts. In 2001 he played the soundtrack for the French comedy La Grosse émission. In 2002 he played again for a French comedy film music: the Story Comédie. The next year he made together with Michaël Youn the soundtrack for La Beuze (also a French comedy ). As of June 2006, he went back on tour. The special thing about this tour was that he appeared in churches and cathedrals of France ( Amiens, for example, Lourdes, Peronne ). At the concerts sang various singers and Borrelly accompanied them with his trumpet. They sang gospel songs, works of classical music and film music.
