Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Stéphane Belmondo est un trompettiste, bugliste et batteur de jazz français né le 8 juillet 1967 à Hyères (Var). Stéphane a étudié les percussions et la batterie dès l'âge de six ans puis l'accordéon à huit ans et adopte la trompette avant l'âge de dix ans. Il intègre la classe d'accordéon classique au Conservatoire d'Aix-en-Provence à 12 ans, celle de cornet à pistons à 14 ans puis la classe de trompette au Conservatoire de Marseille à 16 ans. Son goût pour la scène lui viendra également très tôt : il n'a que 14 ans lorsqu'il fait danser le public à l'accordéon sur les séries de tango et de bal musette dans le big band formé par son père et son frère, Lionel. Il formera avec ce dernier, dès 15 ans, un quintet composé de Philippe Milanta (piano), Thomas Bramerie (basse) et Bruno Ziarelli (batterie) puis Vincent Séno (batterie). En 1986, son premier prix de trompette décroché à Marseille à 19 ans, Il monte à Paris, aidé par Vincent Seno qui l'engage au Club Saint-Germain, devenu ensuite le Bilboquet. Le chemin de Stéphane croise alors celui du pianiste René Urtreger qui lui donnera de nombreuses occasions de partager la scène, notamment avec Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. C'est une période continue d'innombrables rencontres, de groupes d'un soir, de bœufs avec, entre autres, Alby...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
Jared Chiziver is a single father and professional pick-pocket, devotee of Jean-Paul Belmondo and foreign films, and a suave ladies' man.His son Ben is sixteen, a bookish semi-introvert, a star on his school's track team, college bound and gay. Their unusual but quiet and affectionate life in New York City's Greenwich Village is ripped asunder by two singular events. First, Jared finally meets 'the one,' Anna, a photographer of criminals and death scenes - a woman he finds endless engaging.Second, in response to a brutal attack upon his son Ben, Jared breaks his own cardinal rule and commits the big crime, the one that draws the unflinching attention of the police. The only response possible to these events is to leave New York one step ahead of the police and embark upon a journey of both escape and discovery that will irrevocably change their lives.

Told from the point of view of the too-wise and too-adult Ben, Belmondo Style is an unforgettable tale which movingly explores the bonds between an unusual father and a remarkable son.

The Man Can Write.
Adam Berlin knows how to write a book that keeps your interest.Both his books had my attention right from the start.I would read anything he writes.

It's all in the details.
To be honest, and I am a bit ashamed, I have not had the desire or time read for leisure since i was a child. K - 12, through graduate school will do that to you. This novel has brought the joy of literature back into my daily routine. I steal away moments at lunch, at stop lights, in line at the post office, just to read what happens next.
This novel is seductive, detailed, and real. Adam Berlin captures the very essence of human interactions in his descriptions of characters. There is a scene where Jared and Ben (the main characters, a father and son single parent-child duo) meet two women after a run. Jared, the father, eventually asks one of the women to dinner. Berlin does not just allow this character to say "yes." and move on. He sets the scene up so well it makes me feel as though I am watching from a secret vantage point, rooting for Jared as though he is the home team. Envious of this woman who is being asked to dinner. I saw everything, her shoes, her hair, Jared's strong sexy jawline. The details were that of a movie scene, I got chills. The look Berlin describes before the woman agrees to see Jared was perfect. I have given that look to only a few men, as they have been strong enough in presence to elicit it. Only a true artist can capture that much detail and translate it so perfectly into words. Adam Berlin is gifted. As the theme of the novel goes; I am Breathless.

Breathless Berlin Style
This book is a movie.It is written with the wit of a screenplay and the pace of a well constructed scenario.But this book is also a real book and Berlin style is one of the finest.Adam Berlin manages to create highly fictional characters who as you read on become family to you as they are family to each others.As in Headlock, Berlin's first novel, the characters are sliding towards a point of no return that readers can only imagine will be violent but will keep them reading.Berlin excels particularly in his description of the relationships between characters: Jared and Ben, father and son; Ben and Michael, teen-age lovers; Jared and Anna, the player and the 'one'.Berlin explores the father son relationship over several chapters and makes us wonder about the immorality of this dedicated parent; but he chooses to immortalize Ben and Michael encounter in a steaming scene by the Hudson River on a snowy night that will leave readers, males and females, wanting for more.Jared and Anna come to life as a couple in the 'orange dance' but never let go of Ben:"My father tossed me the orange they'd won with.It had been squeezed soft.I lifted the orange to my nose to breathe in the sweet scent. The grove from where it had been picked was still inside.That connection remained."

Belmondo Style and Headlock are two must read.I cannot wait for Berlin's 3rd novel to be published!

Wow, just wow!
A friend of mine recommended this book, after the Publishing Triangle Award finalists were announced.I could not put this book down.While there is a gay theme that runs through this engrossing novel, it is most poignantly a coming of age story and the very delicate relationship between a father and son.Berlin doesn't seem to feel the need to make his characters likable so the effect is that they are more realistic, and their love for each other that much more real.I would never typically say this, but this book would make a great movie!I will definitely be reading this writer's other books.

Could not put it down
From the first page, I found Belmondo completely engrossing and disturbing.It was fascinating to see the depth of the father character.Although he made his living illegally and was in that sense immoral, he demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility as a parent.He played by his own highly romanticized version of the rules.

The disturbing aspect came from the knowledge that their lives were clearly on a steep decline.This made me unable to stop turning the page and at the same time wanting to stop turning the page. Berlin has a knack for this.I was afraid to find out what was going to happen to the characters in Headlock as well. ... Read more
