The Lost Crooners would be a great name for a band or, better still, a Roberto Bolaño novel. It's also the name of the enigmatic new trio recording by bassist Daniel Yvinec, just named next musical director of France's National Jazz Orchestra (2007). Seven of the originals on the disc were recorded, at one point or another, by that crooner par excellence, Frank Sinatra. But here the mystery begins. Sinatra's crooning goes back to his teen- idol days fronting the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. "Crooning" itself evokes youthful exuberance, a romantic Zeitgeist. The music on this record alludes, instead, to the latter-day Sinatra: ruing the loss of that ephemeral innocence, with a dash of Brazilian world weary decadence, not unlike the taciturn and peripatetic poet/dope dealers in Bolañ'os The Savage Detectives.
