Lockwood
Didier Lockwood, who died on 18th February 2018 age 62, was an iconic and internationally acclaimed jazz musician whose innovative style on the violin mixed various jazz influences from acoustic to electric fusion. Over a long career that began in the 1970s, he performed with major artists all over the world and made many well-regarded recordings. Influenced by legendary French violinists Jean-Luc Ponty and Stéphane Grappelli he created a unique violin character that blended musical tones with experimental sounds. He performed at major festivals including Montreux and in many of the world's top jazz venues including Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London.
Born in Calais, where he later studied at the Conservatory, he joined the progressive rock group Magma when he was just 17 and became a significant figure in the jazz scene in Paris in the 1970s. His first album 'New World' came out in 1979 and he went on to release many albums including 'Live at Montmartre' (2010) which featured three Danish musicians - pianist Niels Lan Doky, bassist Morten Ramsboel and drummer Niclas Bardeleben. His 2016 jazz fusion album 'Apesantar' featured Philippe Balatier on keyboards, André Charlier on drums, Benoît Sourisse on piano and his wife, Patricia Petibon on vocals. In November 2017 he released the jazz album 'Open Doors' featuring Antonio Faraò, drummer André Ceccarelli and bassist Daryl Hall. They had just began a tour when Lockwood died suddenly after a concert in Paris.
