Jarre's remarks "totally inaccurate"
Yesterday's update, reporting on Jean Michel Jarre's internet announcement that his upcoming Greek concert may involve a collaboration with Vangelis, should best be ignored. Sources close to Vangelis say that the remarks made are totally inaccurate.

Vangelis to play at a Jarre concert?
[Note afterwards: This turns out to be false, see March 1 update.]
European synthesizer composer Jean Michel Jarre's official personal web-site at www.jarre.net (click on "Rendez Vous in Greece") has announced that his upcoming concert in Athens may involve a collaboration with Vangelis.
Jarre is going to perform June this year at the famous Herodium theater at the Acropolis, as he was invited for a charity concert by the Elpida foundation and the Greek government. He will play his own classics, and music by his new French/Japanese techno band, but - as he announces himself in a Realmedia video message - the highlight could be one or two collaborations with Vangelis. He adds that this is still under negotiation:
"That's still a project, because he is very busy on his side and I don't know at the moment if it's going to be possible or not. Because he is going to release his own album around these days." Something Vangelis has yet to officially confirm."
I think their collaboration would have been great...!
