This is a very hot gypsy jazz CD. The band is a straight gypsy jazz lineup with Angelo Debarre on lead guitar, Ludovic Beier on button accordeon, with two rhythm guitars and a double bass. The tunes are mainly gypsy jazz standards (Douce Ambiance, Yeux Noirs, Troublant Bolero, China Boy) with a few originals including solo tracks by each of the lead musicians. Once you get past the opening number, in which Debarre on guitar and Beier on accordion chase each other around like a couple of hyperactive squirrels, their vast expressive and technical range is very impressive. From the manic high spirits of Swannee River to the deep melancholy of Ton doux sourire, they manage it all to perfection. This is a style of music that grew out of jazz and now pursues a kind of parallel existence, living by its own rules and speaking its own language.
