Les Primitifs Du Futur
Les Crimes Du Musette
The repertoire in this jubilant work draws upon new sources. One track evokes Chet Baker, another is a salute to Henri Salvador, not forgetting a tribute to the piano bars of grand hotels and a piece in the form of an African postcard. Of particular note are two delightful adaptations, in French no less: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, which brings to mind Django Reinhardt, and Paul Desmond's Take Five, inspired by Richard Anthony's French version, as well as two songs with lyrics written by the new member of the Acadmie des Beaux-Arts, Emmanuel Guibert.
