Editorial Reviews

French songs about love and sex from the jazz era, artfully sung and rearranged by this acoustic band from New York. A 'chaud lapin' in French, literally means a 'hot rabbit'. But really it refers to the people who are endlessly hot to trot. It is in the spirit of these raffish seekers that Les Chauds Lapins presents their debut album, "Parlez-moi d'amour" ('speak to me of love'), a collection of 13 French songs from the jazz era entirely focused on the topic of love and lust. A breezy mini-orchestra that features banjo ukes viola, cello and upright bass, Les Chauds Lapins, with their charming American accents, present songs from the repetoire of such artists as Charles Trenet, Mistinguett, Josephine Baker, Edith Piaf, Jean Sablon and Lucienne Boyer. Which is to say, a set of passionate and witty songs from a time when French music was infusing American jazz and swing elements into their own highly melodic and verbal song style. 1 J'ai dansé avec l'amour 2 Il m'a vue nue 3 Swing troubadour 4 Ces petites choses 5 Mon rêve c'etait vous 6 Vous êtes jolie 7 Si tu m'aimes 8 Parlez-moi d'amour 9 Parles-moi d'autre chose 10 J'ai ta main 11 Pourquoi 12 J'ai connu de vous 13 La barque d'Yves
