About Ivan Jullien
French trumpeter, arranger, composer, conductor, and bandleader Ivan Jullien was a prolific artist whose over-50-year career spanned various genres from jazz to pop, and included numerous scores for film and television. Born in Vincennes, France in 1934, Jullien found work early on arranging for the Barclay label in the '60s and later released many of his own big-band albums on Riviera, including his own 1971 fusion-infused take of George Gershwin's "Porgy & Bess." Primarily a behind-the-scenes presence, Jullien arranged and or/conducted on recordings by such luminaries as Charles Aznavour, Henri Salvador, Elton John, Nicoletta, Baden Powell, Didier Lockwood, and many more. In his later years, the jazz-oriented trumpeter continued to be active, arranging and performing with his big band. Jullien died of respiratory failure on January 3, 2015; he was 80 years old. ~ Matt Collar
