Biography
Aimé Barelli, born May 1, 1917 in Lantosque, France, was a French jazz trumpeter, conductor, and singer. He began playing the trumpet at age sixteen at the Palais de la Méditerranée in Nice, and was later engaged at the Palm Beach in Cannes. At the beginning of World War II, he moved to Paris and performed in Fred Adison's orchestra. In June 1940, he joined Raymond Legrand's ensemble, and also co-founded the Jazz de Paris with Hubert Rostaing, Jerry Mengo, and Alix Combelle. In 1941, he recorded "Django's Music" with Django Reinhardt's ensemble. Barelli formed his own large orchestra in 1944, which eventually grew to include up to twenty-six musicians. After the war, his orchestra performed at L'Aiglon in 1946 and at the Ambassadeurs until 1948. He settled in Monaco in 1949, where he directed the orchestra at the Casino du Sporting Club of Monaco for many years, supporting early career performances of singers and musicians including José Bartel, Claude François, and André Ceccarelli. His recordings included the 1953 song "Quel temps fait-il à Paris ?". Barelli died July 13, 1995 in Monaco.
