In response to several questions about recordings, here is some basic information on music copyright issues. More detailed questions about any use of Jean-Luc's music should be submitted to this website.

Performing
Performing musical compositions already recorded is OK and legal, whether by professionals or non-professionals, as long as proper credit is mentioned, especially if performed for radio or TV.

Recording
Recording an existing composition requires a written authorization from the music publisher who administrates that composition on behalf of the writer/composer.

Usage
Using a recording (other than for personal enjoyment, i.e., not for commercial purposes and/or not shared by a form of mass media such as YouTube) requires an authorization from (1) the owner of the musical work (composer) represented by a music publishing company, and (2) the copyright owner of the recording itself, such as record labels like Warner, Sony, etc..

Michel Warlop fut le tout premier grand violoniste de jazz en France, avant Stéphane Grappelli. Mort à 36 ans il fut malheureusement vite oublié. Pierre Guingamp a réparé cette injustice en écrivant un livre passionnant sur la vie de ce fabuleux violoniste, nous éclairant également sur les débuts du jazz en France. Ce livre intitulé "Michel Warlop (1911-1947) - Génie du violon swing" est publié par L'Harmattan avec une préface de Jean-Luc Ponty http://editions-harmattan.fr
