Christopher Cross returns with his first live release \u201cA Night In Paris\u201d on 2CD+DVD to be released on April 8th, 2013 via earMUSIC<\/p>\n
After the release of the studio album \u201cDoctor Faith\u201c, Christopher Cross started one of his biggest tours in Europe in the last 15 years. \u201cA Night In Paris\u201d is the first live 2CD\/DVD by Christopher Cross, which was filmed at the notorious Theatre Le Trianon in Paris, France in April 2012. It will be released on April 8th, 2013 via earMUSIC.
\nWhile the previous tours showed a more acoustic (at times even jazzy) approach, Cross decided that for the \u2018Doctor Faith\u2019 tour he would go back to his musical roots and expanded his band to include a more classical \u201crock line-up\u201c: Andy Suzuki (keyboards, sax), Dave Beyer (drums), Chazz Frichtel (bass, vocals), Kiki Ebsen (keyboards, vocals), Richie Gajate Garcia (percussion) and famous sound engineer Ross Pallone (Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, Elton John…).<\/p>\n
Filmed by 9 cameras in HD, the show captures Cross playing all his classic singles and new material from the album \u201cDoctor Faith\u201c.<\/p>\n
The 90 minutes show is impeccable, the new material is fused beautifully with all the songs the audience is expecting. The wonderful theatre gives the concert a magical atmosphere. Songs like \u2018Sailing\u2019, \u2018Ride Like The Wind\u2019 and \u2018Arthur\u2019s Theme\u2019, sound simply perfect placed beside the most recent songs like \u2018Leave It To Me\u2019 and \u2018November\u2019.<\/p>\n
