Music reviews of Jazz A Saint-Germain
Music Review: No Jazz here but a fun CD
Rating: 4 Stars
A fun compilation of songs performed by an unusual array of performers. As a bonus the sound production quality is excellent.
Not for everyone's taste, it's not jazz but cabaret style and I think this CD will appeal to baby boomers best. Listen to sampler before you buy.
Description of Jazz A Saint-Germain
Jazz ? Saint Germain is a compilation of compelling jazz standards performed in tribute to the Parisian speakeasies that flourished during the German occupation in World War II. Espousing a free-spirited highlife as well as an existential and intellectual aesthetic, the French underground heartily embraced American jazz. Showcasing traditional styles as well as ambitious adaptations that reveal reggae, African, and even hip-hop influences, this collection is tasteful and eclectic. Ang?lique Kidjo's version of "Summertime" is gently evocative, as is Dee Dee Bridgewater's moving rendition of "Watermelon Man." The Jazz Passengers and Debbie Harry interpret "There Is No More Tomorrow," and French chanteuse Fran?ois Hardy is joined by Iggy Pop for a version of "I'll Be Seeing You." With artists old and new, Jazz ? Saint Germain is a vibrant, engaging affair. --Mitch MyersGeneral CDs
