Du New Morning au Zénith is a 1994 double album recorded live by the trio Fredericks Goldman Jones. Composed of 31 tracks, it contains many successful songs from Goldman's previous albums and from the trio's two studio albums Fredericks Goldman Jones and Rouge. It was released on 18 May 1995 and was successful in francophone countries.

Recording and releases

It was recorded between the 26 April 1994 and the 12 June 1994, first at the New Morning in Paris (the first 14 tracks of the first CD), then during the Rouge concert tour, at the Summum in Grenoble and at the Patinoire de Malley in Lausanne.

The money raised by the four concerts at the New Morning in April 1994 was donated to Amnesty International.^[1] During the show, a cover version of Aretha Franklin's song "Think" was performed.

In 2006, 14 performances from the album were included on a DVD box set Souvenirs de tournée - Du New Morning au Zénith.

Chart performances

In France, the album went straight to number-two on 14 May 1995 and remained there for four consecutive weeks, being unable to dislodge Céline Dion's D'eux which was atop then. It totaled 16 weeks in the top ten and 26 weeks on the chart (top 50). It earned a Platinum disc for over 300,000 copies sold.^[2]

In Belgium (Wallonia), the album peaked at number two for two weeks and stayed for 24 weeks in the top 50. It was ranked for five weeks in the top 50 in Belgium (Flanders).
