Early years
Jean-Michel Jarre is the son of famous French composer Maurice Jarre and France Jarre. His parents separated when he was 5 years old, his father moved to the United States (he did not see him again until the age of 18), and Jarre remained with his mother in the suburbs of Paris. In childhood Jarre studied piano but the experience proved difficult. His more general interest in musical instruments was sparked by the discovery of a trumpet violin created by Boris Vian.

    I think it's not supposed to be hyphenated. His name is written without it on the records.

    C'est dommage que les charts soient un peu faussés à cause de la casse de tous les morceaux, qui ne sont pas écrits de la même façon selon les titres des bibliothèques des uns et des autres (je prends l'exemple pour Oxygene Part 1, qui peut être décliné en Oxygene Part I, Oxygene (Part I), Oxygène I, Oxygène 1, Oxygène 1, etc...), il faudrait trouver le moyen d'harmoniser un peu tout ça, de manière à avoir des charts nickels... si vous pouviez donner votre avis sur ce sujet, qu'en pensez vous?
