He had grown into the music by listening to jazz: Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon. What struck him most was the feeling of wellness experienced by musicians who would gather to express themselves in this extraordinary musical language, integrating African rythmical traditions and Western melodic\/harmonic development. It seemed perfectly normal for him that this should be supported in a UN environment.<br \/>\nHe went about finding likeminded individuals, put together a bunch of musicians, persisted in his search for rehearsal rooms and the UN Music Club was born.<br \/>\nOf the founding members in 2003, the few remaining in the Club today are Mimi Ameti, Nathalie Guerra, Paolo di Rosa, Alex Ezana and Nicolas Stauble. Other founding members were Rick Troxel, Aniel and Dominique Blanvillain, Bryan Larner, Jean-Marie Planche, Enrique Hernandez, Mimi Pinson, Barry Moynehan, Piero, Vanessa<br \/>\nAmong the first to hire the UN Music Club band was Amnesty International in neighbouring France and the Nyon F\u00eate de la Musique. .

The first UN Music Project was born. It lead to the recording of the first CD in the UN Music Club history. Musical action in response to the Japan tsunami followed later.<br \/>\nIn 20?? the Club pursued an old idea conducive to get people without musical education to get involved into a musical experience. This led to the creation of The Percussion ensemble.<br \/>\nThe way forward: \u00a0A follow-up to the World Music &#8230;.<em> to be edited&#8230;. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten Years UN MUSIC\u00a0CLUB &#8211; 2003-2013 Alex Ezana, a translater in the United Nations in Geneva was the first UN employee to think up the UN Music Club.
