Le virus du voyage précaires et du dilettantisme ont conduit J.J. Milteau adolescent à jeter son dévolu sur l'harmonica dont la modestie teintée de sensualité permet de conserver la cheville mince et le coeur gros.

Sollicité à son plus grand étonnement par le gotha de la chanson française (Yves Montand, J.J. Goldman, Gabril Yared, Maxime Le Forestier, Barbara,...) il passe ses jeunes années à saupoudrer quelques centaines d'enregistrements de notes bleues mais chaudes.
Malgé ou à cause de son atypisme il est victime de deux Victoire de la musique, d'un Django d'or, d'un grand prix du jazz de la SACEM. Depuis, l'harmonica a emmené J.J. Milteau dns plus de soixante pyas et l'a même conduit à animer l'émission Bon temps rouler sur TSF et Jazz Radio.
Initié à la musique par le Blues, il intègre à la sienne des influences colorées, souvenirs de voyages réels ou imaginés, des pubs d'Irlande aux 'fais-dodo de Louisiane, de la savane Zoulou au cinéma de quartier, de Juarez à Saint-Ouen, des clubs de Blues à l'Olympia !
Il joue et parle avec humour et enthousiasme de l'instruement le plus quotidien, le plus intime, le plus populaire... l'harmonica. / Méthodes and études instrumentales / Partition CD / Agrafé /
