Free Music Notes for Jazz a Saint-Germain
Free Music Review: A slice of History
Hit: 5 Stars
The marketing gang at Amazon.com are certainly doing their job - at the expense of my pocket book. I picked this up from a multiple recommendations link. Unable to find Lainie Cooke's new cd locally I knew Amazon woudld have it. While ordering LC's CD I looked at the suggestions and was intruiged by Pink Martini's, Sympathique. While impulse ordering it, I saw the suggestion for Jazz A Saint-Germain. This disc is definately awesome. I must be getting really frustrated by recent pop/rock and am going full blown eclectic/world/retro - I'm sure it's not that I'm growing up!! Jazz A Saint-Germain isn't just a compilation of great music, but really takes you back to a time of the intimate, live jazz club. If this is what you looking for - buy this album - all I've listed above as well as SoulSkin, and the latest kd Lang /Tony Bennett project.
No, I don't work for Amazon, but they should put me on payroll - don't ya think?
Jazz a Saint-Germain Poster
Jazz à 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. Angélique 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 François Hardy is joined by Iggy Pop for a version of "I'll Be Seeing You." With artists old and new, Jazz à Saint Germain is a vibrant, engaging affair. --Mitch MyersJazz Music CDs
