A George Brassens

Description

« When you listen to his songs, it is obvious that the Hot Club de France quintet could have played this. We didn't pay much attention to it during his lifetime, because people were attached to the lyrics, but his music is fabulous, » declares Raffalli in the preamble to his work of re-reading. After a few self-productions, this is the first album of this native of Corsica. He was able to show his sensitivity through the songs of Brassens. With respect and logic, he revisited the repertoire, thus La Marine becomes a waltz, J’ai rendez-vous avec vous a rumba. Without falling into the cliché of "hits," he demonstrates that this tribute is far from an opportunistic approach. The spirit of Django Reinhardt dominates these 13 chosen songs, and the worlds of these 2 great names in music harmonize before our eyes.
In the name of the "Friends of Georges," Jean-Paul Sermonte writes: « This record is a delight. For those who love Brassens, for those who love jazz. If you appreciate both, then your joy will be perfect. Through this interpretation, we feel all the love that Brassens had for jazz. Jazz was for him his musical nourishment, just as the reading of poets sustained his poetic inspiration. »
