Nice mix of classic and modern French music by classic (Gainsbourg, Bardot, Birkin) and modern (Paris Combo, Mathieu Boogaerts) French artists. You can play anything off this CD and have fun with it. I really like this one.

*1. Deliciously retro mid-tempo jazz swing.
2. Relaxed, almost lazy vocals w/a definite 70’s air.
*3. Quiet vocals, mid-tempo w/a sweetness.
*4. Vibes, vox, piano…a light, jazzy romp.
5. Rich male vocals. Mid-tempo w/light guitar accents.
6. Jazzy organ backing thin, light female vocals. Fun.
7. Breathy, sex-kitten vocals. A bit too much.
8. Electronic w/hints of reggae. Quirky, but cool.
9. Downtempo, almost sleep-making. Nice trumpet.
*10. Light, bright, jazzy vox/piano/guitar. Sigh…
*11. Fun, bouncy jazz swing w/cool vocals/guitars. Yay.
12. Good café music. A happy accordion-based foxtrot.
13. Cool modern swing w/a sweet energy.
