by
Jacky Terrasson
Jacky Terrasson's 1999 album, What It Is, represented something of a risk. The young pianist's first three albums were barebones trio affairs that had won him rave reviews, whereas What It Is featured additional instruments and was more slickly produced. Gone, it seemed, was the sparse, acoustic approach that had originally given Terrasson his ...

by
Patricia Kaas
Patricia Kaas' 2002 release Piano Bar is a lovely, seductive collection of romantic mood music, pulled directly from the chanteuse tradition but sounding utterly contemporary. Some credit must go to producer/arranger Michel Legrand, who keeps the polished surface softly glimmering, yet this is merely a stage for Kaas, whose vocals are never flashy ...

by
Toots Thielemans
On this unusual CD, the remarkable harmonica player Toots Thielemans explores a variety of mostly French melodies. The music is often nostalgic and wistful but generally swinging, with enough different tempos to hold one's interest throughout. The oddest aspect of the set is that there is an overdubbed vocal apiece by Diana Krall ("La Vie en Rose" ...

by
Charles Trenet
Compared to his contemporary, Maurice Chevalier, Charles Trenet remains something of an unknown in the United States. Put it down to Chevalier's acting and comedic skills, because compared to Trenet, he was no singer at all. And not only did Trenet have a wonderful voice, he was also a brilliant pop songwriter. Both skills are displayed to fine ...

João Gilberto
Recent but classic jazz-bossa is played by one of its defining spirits. Vocally, Gilberto is in fine muttering form, communicating intensely with somebody in his breast pocket, and his guitar is as delicate as ever. This recording expresses the close links of bossa nova and jazz. Joao has Clare Fisher arranging and on some cuts playing keyboards, ...

The French chanson -- the cabaret, orchestral-influenced music made famous by artists like Edith Piaf and Charles Trenet that predated the poppier sounds of Jacques Brel, Serge Gainsbourg, and Jane Birkin -- has inspired countless singers, from Jeff Buckley to Nina Simone to Rufus Wainwright, just to name a few. The art form is celebrated here on ...

While holding on tight to her bossa nova base, Caram ranges further afield in this Chesky outing to other strains of Brazilian music, even somewhat outside the country. Caram expands her palette to include a three-piece horn section -- Steve Sacks, Al Hunt (reeds), David Sacks (trombone) -- from whose versatile hands emerge a pocket-sized big band ...
