3.0 out of 5 stars Cafe De Paris, March 15, 2002

By 

Charles mowbray (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cafe De Paris (Audio CD)

All I can say is that the previous reviewer must have cloth ears! No, it's not necessarily background music. The CD is a distillation of bal musette classics that originally were anthologised on the Parisian Fremeaux label. As such it's a handy introduction to the world of bal musette accordion and some of its greatest stars. It's not afraid to deal with the end of the music influenced by the amalgam of swing and manouche gypsy jazz. As for the sound I found nothing wrong with it- no rice krispies effects- and I go back to it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for French Cafe Dinner Theater background music, November 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cafe De Paris (Audio CD)

This CD is perfect for providing background "atmosphere" for a French Cafe-themed production. Though the music is from the 30s and 40s, it is the type of music Americans stereotypically associate with Paris.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a collection of pieces from the 1930s., November 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cafe De Paris (Audio CD)

This disc is an anthology of pieces played by top accordion groups of the 1930's in Paris. As such, it has quite an "old-timey" sound style-wise and recording-wise. Some numbers also have vocalists. It's good background or atmosphere music.
