5.0 out of 5 stars the one musette CD to own, December 24, 1999

This review is from: Swing De Musette (Audio CD)

No clunky stuff... just great lilting, floating vintage musette mostly from the post-WWII years when paris was jazz-happy. Very nice sound (from the originals without enchancement), lots of music (26 tunes, all good), but liner notes are weak. Tight, jazzy combos doing waltes and swing tunes. Tony Murena, Gus Viseur, Emile Carrara, Guerino, and Medar Ferrero are the featured artists. Django Reinhardt is on a couple of tunes. The new Paris Musette series is great, but this is better... and definitely worth the price.

Anyone who wants to look into the French love of American-style jazz should try their best to track down this fab set of sweet swing-flavored musette from the 1930s and '40s. The masters of the genre are all present, including accordeonists Tony Murena, Gus Visuer and Vetese Guerino, along with gypsy jazz guitarists Django Reinhardt and his protege/competitors the Ferrats, and brother Joseph Reinhardt. Great stuff - an indispensible collection for fans of the style.
