about

The 2018 Release from VJ Band featuring Second Lead Singer Arwen Dewey & rising Saxophone Star Medearis "MD" Dixson, "Café Pluvieux" celebrates songs of the French Resistance era of the 1940s with new, originals by Victor Janusz about the Resistance in America ("Prince of Piece of Mind" “Soldier On" "Café Pluvieux")...with the title track merging both time periods. Trippy!

Covers of tunes by U2, Carpenters, and Todd Rundgren complete a thematic collection that acknowledges throughout:
"It takes so much light to see through so much darkness!" (Jean Genet)….

"VJ has had a wide-ranging career as a pianist, singer, actor and director. His music reflects his experiences in the theatre --and he performs in a style that falls between jazz and cabaret... He leads a fine group that features singer Arwen Dewey, Saxophonist Medearis Dixson on alto and tenor, and a solid rhythm section! Victor Janusz knows how to sell a song and the obvious joy he has in performing is appealing" --Scott Yanow, Los Angeles Jazz Scene.
