Les Pommes De Ma Douche
L'ame Des Poetes Disparus
The "Pommes de ma douche" _ literally, "My Showerheads" _ is an irresistible swing quintet, and they craftily delight in giving their growing audience of fans incredibly tasty gypsy-jazz arrangements of the greatest tunes from the golden days of French song. In this album their heroes are Trenet and Gainsbourg, Boris Vian and Barbara, just some of the marvellous artists and composers whose Hall of Fame melodies they treat with tenderness, respect and unerring precision. Under the benevolent gaze of these great poets of the (recent) past, the band gives us a session (spiritualism!) where body and soul _ metronomic rhythms and ethereal solos _ communicate in swing that's light and elegant_ The "Pommes" at the (very) best of their Art!
