Cinematic world jazz combining French style with Cuban sensuality. Brass, keyboards, a few with vocals by Melissa Newman, who sparkles. Delicious, sophisticated and charming. Grigorov scores films and that really comes through as nearly every track puts some kind of visual image in your mind. All so good. Yow!
1. A relaxed Franco-Cuban mélange, like a hot day by the Seine.
2. Sexy fem vocals, relaxed and romantic. Film score atmosphere.
3. Downtempo, retro, like a 60s spy film. Wicked cool.
4. Lush Latin jazz w/super-sexy vocals.
5. Hip and slow dance w/programming. A great arrangement.
6. Mid/dowtempo electronic jazz w/a cool retro Parisian sound.
7. A sexy midtempo wiggle w/vocals and rich melody. So cool.
8. Guitars, percussion, horns. A stylish, midtempo sway.
9. Piano version of #3. Delicious solo jazz, absolutely gorgeous.
10. Slow and sensual seduction, beautifully cool.
