Le vent: jazz-influenced interpretations of Georges Brassens' chansons. The second CD from Projet Brassens Quartet, following their début CD La marine. |
Le vent pour nos visiteurs francophones (Le vent for French-speakers) |
"Is it true that in England there is only one name for the wind" asked a Frenchwoman at one of our concerts. Across France's different physical and cultural geography blow l'aquilon, l'autan, le bise, le mistral, la tramontane and le zéphyr. And finding a fair wind across la Manche, the chansons of Georges Brassens. |
Projet Brassens Quartet interpret Brassens' chansons of the 1950s-70s in a style they describe as 'nouveau Hot Club'. Based on the classic `swing' made famous by Django Reinhardt's 1930's Hot Club de Paris, they create modern textures and rhythms, influenced by World Music and contemporary jazz.
