It’s a Rough Guide. It’s Paris. Need I say more? Runs the gamut from chanson to gypsy jazz to contemporary French pop. From up-and comers to icons such as Django Reinhardt. One star each track. 1. Slow modern pop w/moody fem vocals. Lush, lyrical & dark. 2. Fun & light upbeat pop w/fem vocals & swinging melody. 3. Quirky mid/down modern chanson w/world-weary male vox. 4. Breathy fem vox mostly midtempo indie-rock-ish. 5. Modern, midtempo gypsy jazz instrumental. So smooth! 6. Gritty Arabic/flamenco-influenced kinda bluesy, midtempo. 7. Sweet & lightly swinging modern jazz musette. Accordion/band. 8. So cool retro-gypsy swing. Delicious accordion. Wonderful! 9. Upbeat French jazz from the 40s, swinging & warm. 10. Starts w/upbeat flourish, slows & picks up. Yiddishy rock musette 11. Modern gypsy swing for guitar & accordion. Fresh & lively. 12. Delicous male vox & solid straight-up jazz. Midtempo & cool 13. Chinese-influenced bal musette waltz. Cool vibes. 14. Upbeat musette mazurka w/a carousel sound. 15. Midtempo almost organ-grinder sound. Quirky & so good. 16. Mid/upbeat folk dance w/accordion & Django on guitar. 17. Radio introduction of Django playing w/swinging big band. 18. Down & dirty blues jazz w/great/ Tight, classic, powerful. | ||
