5.0 out of 5 stars
Swept away to France, November 1, 2001
This review is from: Mes Chansons D Amour (Audio CD)
If you liked Salvador's" Chambre Avec Vue" you will love this. If you don't know Salvador imagine a male combination of Astrud Gilberto, Blossom Dearie, and Jane Birkin. I dont know of a male contender for his soft minimal jazz voice except perhaps Jo Gilberto. The song selection is all French ballads, played and sung with a quiet jazz, simple, sort of bossa nova delivery. No French marching songs, clever novelty songs, or over-the -top Piaf theatrics; strictly light, fresh, crisp and airy as a nice bottle of Chablis. Romantic music, not especially for having sex, more for sitting beside your lover and listening. During the week of the recent bombings in America I listened to this CD almost constantly. It was very reassuring that, yes, there is beauty and love in the world.
