2xHD presents "Le French Album" - a wonderful musical voyage to France. This is a beautifully recorded collection of jazzy French songs both new and old. Including favourites such as "C'est si bon and Les feuilles mortes" sung by the likes of Juno Award-winning singer Emilie-Claire Barlow, and "Sous le ciel de Paris" by Juno nominee Jill Barber. This is a charming collection of chanson that is not to be missed.

This album was nominated 'Vocal Jazz Album of the Year' at the Juno Awards.
