Torrent description

MP3/320kbps

Jazz A 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 includes two of the most famous French female pop stars, Jane Birkin and Francoise Hardy, in duets with Jimmy Rowles and Iggy Pop, respectively. Angelique 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." With artists old and new, Jazz A Saint Germain is a vibrant, engaging affair.

Highly Recommend!!
