Customer Reviews:

Awesome music!.......2007-02-13

I've only had this for about a month, and it has already become one of my favorites! Very relaxing, without being boring. That is something that most mellow music can not pull off -

Before I bought it, I expected all of the lyrics to be in French. Much to my surprise, no French words were on the album. This is not a bad thing, but this is something that wanna-be listeners should be aware of.

Great Ecstatic Serenity and Danceability.......2006-10-10

This is a CD without a bad track. It sounds well-made, classy, carefully chosen, etc. It's 2006 and it feels newer still with breathes of fresh starlit-lively dreamy Paris cityscape groove. It has a sort of a dance-oriented, upmood Airy accent but differently French too (maybe a bit more mainstreamably-listenable).

Ooooo la la.............2005-08-19

I bought this CD expecting the coolest, smoothest, sweetest EuroTrash grooves....I wasn't disappointed in the least...It's a sexy, funky, deep-house buzzzzzzzzz....I adore this CD especially when I am looking for something laidback and seductive.....The most awesome track on this album is "Mantis" by Versus.....

Exquisite *****

Groove On.......2005-08-12

I love this CD. I don't skip any tracks and find myself hitting the repeat button.

Paris under a groove kicks..........2005-06-14

I bought this album because of the album description. I think that this information and the review by Urb magazine clearly states what this album is all about.

I was not at all shocked when I received the CD. The music is clean and very funky with some live elements; and, it demonstrates the fusion of electronica, jazz, funk and trip- hop. These artists are indeed unique. In fact, I found this album to be a refreshing change of pace from many of the predictable electronica albums flooding the market these days.
I also have purchased St Germain's tourist and did not do so to hear French vocalists.

However, Paris Under a Groove does have some live vocals and some nice vocal sampling in English and French. All and all, the CD is a great entry point for anyone interested in learning about new French electronica and its various formats.

When Stephane Grappelli entered the recording studio with Oscar Peterson in 1973 to record this collection of standards, it marked his 50th anniversary as a professional musician. Grappelli's most famous collaboration was of course his six-year stint in the 1930s with the Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, but it wasn't until he started playing with pianists like Peterson that he really developed into a world-class soloist. Peterson's lush, full chords suit Grappelli's unabashedly romantic style perfectly, and on ballads like "My One and Only Love" his fiddling is lyrical, but with a melancholy depth that keeps it from descending into mere prettiness. The other musicians include bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and drummer Kenny Clark, whose supple, swinging rhythm gives the solos a gentle lift while driving them forward. Peterson and Grappelli were both old pros when they made this record, but the charm of tracks like "Thou Swell" and "Makin' Whoopee" show that even after decades in the business, they hadn't lost the ability to surprise and delight each other. --Michael Simmons

Customer Reviews:

Decent recording, terrific artists..........2006-04-21

fatally marred by the cheapest cardboard CD case imaginable and stuck with Sony's illegal DRM sofwtare that installs spyware on Windows computers without your permission. (Is there any limit to these idiots' greed?)

If you can possibly find another printing of this CD, get that instead.

excellent pairing of two greats.......2005-10-01

Wonderful CD, great arrangements, beautiful melodies, excellent musicians. Backing up Oscar and Stephane are Neils Henning Orsted Pederson on bass, who recorded a lot with Oscar Peterson, and Kenny Clarke on drums. The whole Jazz In Paris series is great.

Outstanding, Elegant, Sophisticated, Classy Jazz..........2005-01-17

This is a great disc. The Jazz in Paris series is highly recommended.

Fantastic.......2001-05-02

What a great album, fans of Grappelli or Peterson will not be diappointed. They really swing on tracks 3 + 7. Peterson's piano stands out on track 5.

LOVE ULTRA LOUNGE!!.......2007-05-12

Nothing can be finer that Ultra Lounge - never a bad thing to say.

Vive La France !!!.......2007-03-30

French music always possessed the unique charm of French culture and sophistication. This CD in the Ultra-Lounge series celebrates some of the greatest French tunes of the 1950s and 1960s; and many of these numbers sport a jazzy flair that will leave you wanting more! Just one listen to this CD proves it.

The CD opens with the magnificent "I Love Paris" performed by Sam Butera & The Witnesses. The drums, percussion and horns all come together to produce a suave and elegant instrumental track that fits perfectly as an opener to this album. The French standard "Milord" shines with Les Baxter's touch; the piano carries the bulk of the musical arrangement and the male chorus adds to the beauty of this classic French ballad. "Valentina" is another special number; "Valentina" uses horns, drums and percussion to let Elmer Bernstein & The Swinging Bon Vivants bat this one straight out of the proverbial ball park! Love that piano solo, too! Awesome! In addition, "C'est Magnifique" sports Nelson Riddle's elegant touch as the horns and string shine to make this ballad magical.

"April In Paris" gets the royal treatment by The Mighty Accordion Band; their accordion playing gives us another perfect number performed without a single superfluous note. The accordion is certainly associated with classic French ballads of the 20th century; so it comes as not surprise that this number fits well into the track set. Indeed, all the tracks on this CD flow together very, very well.

Another track worthy of special mention is "The Poor People Of Paris (Jean's Song);" this number was written partly by the great Marguerite Monnot who wrote songs for such immortal greats as Edith Piaf. The piano, horns, percussion and strings all combine to make this number absolutely stunning. It also has that elegant early 1960s/late 1950s elegant flair that captures the essence of all things French: Haute Couture, Love and a certain élan that you just can't find anywhere else on the planet!

"La Vie En Rose" is performed by Sam Butera & The Witnesses; this is the only track on the CD that slightly disappoints me because I can't quite go for the emphasis on the horns in this arrangement. Nevertheless, the melody remains very beautiful and the artists perform it flawlessly. I guess "La Vie En Rose" will be a personal judgment call on this CD.

"C'est Si Bon (It's So Good)" features an organ and a male chorus; and "I Love Paris" features the bongo drums and percussion to infuse this number with a Latin beat. I think this method works very well. "Can Can Can" ends the CD's musical numbers with that classic French "Can Can" melody. This number immediately brings to mind those beautiful young ladies dancing the Can Can while kicking their legs up high over their heads. This terrific musical arrangement gets help from the flute and the xylophone as the horns carry the melody. Beautiful.

The last "hidden track" by Renzo Cesana is pure filler; but they should have ended this CD with the musical track entitled "Can Can Can." There's also the voice of a young lady with a beautiful French accent occasionally introducing a number on this album--as if the numbers needed any introduction whatsoever! I didn't like this, obviously, so I will make this a four star review instead of a five star review. Sorry, Ultra-Lounge!

The liner notes include the song credits and an essay about French musical standards by R. J. Smith. There are even three drink recipes so that you can offer your dinner guests a "French Poodle" the next time you serve cocktails before dinner!

Fans of French music and that late 1950s/early 1960s sound will thrill to this CD. People who want to enjoy well executed French instrumentals will also enjoy this CD very much. I also recommend this for fans of easy listening music, lounge music and exotica.

Enjoy!

I love the Ultra-Lounge series........2006-12-10

The sound quality of the Ultra-Lounge series is excellent, even though the songs were recorded mostly in the 50's and 60's. Capitol Records packs each CD with carefully chosen tracks consistent with the theme of the particular volume in the series. Many of the selections that appear here aren't available elsewhere, either because the original album on which the song appeared is out of print, or because the song was issued as a single and never collected in an album. A few 'previously unreleased' tracks also appear here. This series is a wonderful introduction to the music of a by-gone era, and each album includes detailed notes on each track (artist, writers, date recorded, how released, etc.). I heartily recommend it to anyone who has an interest in this type of music.

A Mini Trip to the Paris of the 50s and 60s in a Jewel Case!.......2006-03-28

For whatever reason, I avoided this entry in the Ultra-Lounge series like the plague. In fact, I bought nearly every other volume BEFORE "A Bachelor in Paris" and waited until the last second to add it to my collection and complete the series. What did a French spin on my beloved lounge music have to offer me? The whole idea just did not sound all that appealing - I've never even fantasized about visiting Paris! Still, with few entries left to buy, I finally picked up "A Bachelor in Paris" and boy am I glad I did!

The music is jovial and fun, with a continental flair that evokes not the actual Paris but rather a fictional, idealized Paris of the jet-set 1950s and 60s. The Paris for lovers, the romanticized Paris of quaint cafes and glowing nightlife is here, conveniently preserved on disc to visit anytime you need to escape the reality of everyday life. More than any other entry in the Ultra-Lounge series, "A Bachelor in Paris" evokes a celebratory atmosphere - a mini-vacation in a jewel case where the locals are friendlier, the wine ever flowing, and your love faithfully always by your side to squeeze and caress at will.

The woman who pops up between every couple of tracks is quite amusing and helps perpetuate the illusion that listening to this disc is like taking a guided tour of Paris in the 50s and 60s. How sublime!

So, in parting, my final thoughts to anyone who has yet to complete their Ultra-Lounge collection, like me, should absolutely pick up a copy of "A Bachelor in Paris." The music is fun, the atmosphere is romantic and magical, and the entire compilation ranks among the best, most cohesive discs in the Ultra-Lounge series!

C'est Magnifique!

Ultra French Lounge.......2005-05-20

This CD is essential for the serious Ultra Lounge collector. It sets the mood for circa 50-60s French-American genres movies, i.e., An American in Paris, Paris When it Sizzles, etc. A must have. Great for entertaining, too.

No fun to be had here... Some ephemera is best left on the dust heap........2006-10-31

The concept is certainly appealing: forgotten musical confections from the swinging sixties, sung by gamine Parisian chanteuses. What music to daydream to, to imagine a different life!

Alas, the shocking, ugly truth is that almost none of the chickadees on this CD can even hit the notes. These are astoundingly poor singers! It's not that they're raw, gutsy or folky... no, their voices are simply weak and out of tune, cruel as that is to say, and the sub-sub-Eddy-Arnold material they're warbling unevenly through is no great shakes to begin with. Compounding a listener's frustration, the few songstresses with real vocal talent ("Patricia" for example) are mostly eclipsed out by poor production, drowned out during the choruses by thundering, corny canned orchestra. While I bear none of these ladies ill-will, and a couple of the tracks have charm, this "music" was recorded back in the day by cynical hitmongers looking for the next easy buck, and the evidence of their indifference is plain to hear.

There may well be diamonds buried in the yé-yé catalog, but they aren't to be found here. For whatever reason, almost EVERY track on this comp is a recycled USA bar-band standard... "Baby Love," "Sloop John B," "My Generation"... clumsily arranged, badly sung, and sloppily recorded. Learn from my mistake, and save your money. This stuff isn't sexy, and, with a couple exceptions (the first track is pretty great!), it lacks even a curiosity or novelty factor. Terribly disappointing.

One of my favorite sixties french pop series!!!.......2005-02-18

There are better series that deal with sixties french pop singers(Ultra Chicks, Swinging Mademoiselle) and more comprehensive, but this is the only one that is readily available!!They also deal with alot of the same unknown french female singers. Maria Laforet does a cool version of Paint it Black! Their are other cover songs too!(These Boots Are Made For Walking, Nights in White Satin..etc) But the originals by some of these girls are outstanding! Especially 7 Houres du Matin by Jaqueline Taieb!! Buy volumes 1-3 of this series if you enjoy this kind of music!!

Very groove a-go-go Parisian Style!.......2004-12-15

Sort of like the old cliché "I don't know a lot about modern art, but I know what I like"; That's what I feel about this collection of young French "divas"! I know very little French language myself, but do recognize the many covers of American hits done powerfully and with great style here. Even right down to the "bump-bah-bah-bah bump" put in to "Marie Doceur, Marie Colere" (Paint it Black) at the end just like the "Stones" version! You just have to also love the "one name" girls here - Eileen, Violaine, Jocelyne, Stone, Adele, Elizabeth, etc.. Fabulous vintage graphics of record singles and overlays of designs in this CD. The only real "letdown" here was the track chosen to represent Brigitte Bardot! Could you just TELL her looks were getting people to ignore her lack of singing talents on this one alone or what?!! A much better song she recorded was "Contact" (probably on a later installment of these and I know is on an "Original Sixties" volume. I haven't gotten a chance to hear the two follow-ups to this series yet and fear many of the tracks were already used on "Original" and "Ultra Chicks" another mentioned. C'est la vie as they say!

Para amantes del ye ye francés.......2002-11-13

Aún no he conseguido reponerme de la alegría de haber descubierto este disco. ¿Cuánto tiempo hemos tenido que esperar los aficionados para acceder a una recopilación en cd de este tipo? No queráis saberlo. Si ya es considerablemente difícil dar con ediciones decentes de las discografías de las tres soberanas por excelencia de la era yé yé del pop francés (a saber: Sylvie Vartan, Françoise Hardy y la inefable -magnífica- France Gall), imaginaos lo que puede ser rastrear en las de aquellas otras 'reinas por un día', de las que luego nada más se supo. Dadas las actuales exigencias del mercado discográfico, sólo se me ocurre admirarme de la suerte de que, en esta ocasión, alguien se haya al fin acordado de la minoría de melómanos que aún gustamos de dejarnos tentar por estas sabrosas naderías de pop añejo. Esperemos que este disco sea tan sólo el primero de una larga serie. Por lo demás, he de matizar mi euforia con un par de reservas de considerable importancia. La primera se refiere a la relación calidad-precio del disco: creo su precio bien merecería al menos una hora de música. La segunda es de carácter más personal y es que, entiendo que un producto de estas características resulte más accesible al gran público a través de la inclusión de versiones de clásicos anglosajones, pero mi opinión es que, con éste, se han pasado un pelín. Yo me atrevería a sugerir, para próximos volúmenes, un poquito más de Serge Gainsbourg y menos Brian Wilson (a quien por otra parte venero, pero sobretodo en sus versiones originales.) Dicho lo cual, sólo me queda añadir que NO DEJÉIS DE COMPRÁROSLO.

JSP's follow-up to their must-have bargain-priced box set of Django Reinhardt's early recordings is every bit as essential and fascinating for lovers of jazz guitar. Between 1937 and 1948, the world's best-known gypsy guitarist was leading some of the hottest jazz groups in Europe, with some of the most innovative arrangements imaginable. The story behind these sessions is almost as memorable as the material--somehow Reinhardt, despite being a gypsy, prospered through Nazi-occupied France while his peers either fled or perished. Due to the war, the classic lineup of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France evolved and eventually splintered into two groups--one with Stephane Grappelli on violin, another replacing him with the clarinet of Hubert Rostaing. But regardless of Reinhardt's accompaniment, the music-making heard here is nothing short of astounding. Whether swinging through standards ("All of Me," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "Sweet Georgia Brown") or performing some of his classic originals ("Nuages," "Swing 42"), whether alone ("Improvisations," "Tea for Two") or backed by more than a dozen friends ("Festival Swing"), this is some of Reinhardt's best music. JSP's remastering and transfers on these 60-year-old 78s is the finest yet available. Essential for swing fans, guitarists, or anyone wanting to know more about the history of jazz. --Jason Verlinde

Django yes--- sound no........2006-11-21

Django is my man, and I've always found these to be some of his most fetching recordings. The sound is a bit bland for my tastes, though. JSP puts out an inconsistent product at times.

The Second Most Affordable Reinhardt Collection.......2004-10-09

In my opinion, "Paris & London 1937-48" is slightly better than "Classic Early Recordings in Chronogical Order". Considering the source material, JSP did an excellent job remastering this collection.

Bouncin' Around.......2003-01-15

For someone like me who loves every note Django Reinhardt ever played this 4-CD collection and another 5-CD set also available on Amazon, "Django Reinhardt: The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order," are the Holy Grail. Between the two sets I can load up the CD player with 9 discs and listen to this most unbelievable of all guitar players show off for hours at a time.

There is more swing, more fun, and more incredible guitar playing on these discs than you'll ever hear anywhere else.

Even though they contain no lengthy linear notes, 'free booklets,' posters, etc., these are, without a doubt, the greatest multi-disc box sets I have ever heard.

Great guitar... and beyond!.......2002-12-05

I got "Paris and London" and JSP's other great box set, "The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order," at roughly the same time, and for a while I listened constantly to the "Early Recordings" and pretty much neglected this set. One reason is that the "Early Recordings" are so great that I couldn't tear myself away, but another reason is that the "Paris and London" set includes more large-ensemble recordings that have taken me a little longer to appreciate. By my taste, at least, Django is at his best in small acoustic settings (e.g., in the famous Quintet of the Hot Club of France, or even soloing or just accompanied by piano). "Paris and London" does contain a number of songs by the original Hot Club (including Stephane Grappelli), and most of those rank with the very best on the "Early Recordings" set --- but there are also a number of wartime recordings (made while Grappelli was stranded in London) that have a more standard jazz ensemble sound (featuring Hubert Rostaing on clarinet in place of Grappelli's violin), as well as a few performed with large orchestras, and at first I found those a little less appealing. My view changed a little, though, when I read in Django's biography (by his contemporary, the French music critic Charles Delaunay) that by this stage of his career Django was becoming more interested in composing and arranging than in simply playing guitar, and that he felt there were more musical possibilities in larger groups than within the limitations of the string quintet (three guitars, bass and violin). So I've been going back and listening to these large-ensemble recordings with a new ear, and I guess I can say that it's expanded my musical horizons a little. As a guitarist myself, I'm naturally partial to Django's remarkable lead guitar playing, but with the larger groups his role is more like Duke Ellington's on the piano (that is, using his guitar more as the cohesion behind the arrangements than as a lead instrument). So on these recordings you get a fuller sense of Django's overall musical vision, beyond just his virtuoso guitar playing. In any case, even if you're mainly just interested in hearing Django's guitar, you won't be disappointed, because these recordings include some of his best. Also, I see that one reviewer criticized the sound quality of this set as compared to the "Early Recordings," but I'm not sure I'd agree. That reviewer may have better equipment and a more highly-trained ear than I do, but on my equipment these recordings sound just fine --- and in some cases even more sharp and clear than the "Early Recordings." In any case, don't let that consideration deter you from purchasing this great 4-CD set. If you don't already own the "Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order," then by all means start with that. Then, if you like that set (and who wouldn't?), don't hesitate to get this one too. They both show Django at his best, and this one in particular shows his versatility and broad musical vision.

More Great Django, but without Ted Kendall.......2001-10-09

I certainly agree with the other reviewers about the music here being terrific. I also favor the small ensemble work rather than the larger aggregations. After all, there's more Django in the small arrangements.

But I do have to comment on the sound quality. One of the remarkable things about the first installment of this set (the 5 CD box) is its sound. Engineer Ted Kendall did a sterling job of collecting the best quality sources and then cutting as little as possible from the output to give us the music. By contrast, this set is far less impressive. There is much less depth to the bass and the high end has been truncated a bit too in the interest of getting rid of surface noise.

The Jacques Loussier Trio has recorded numerous albums applying European jazz sensibilities to classical material, following and refining the path laid down by Dave Brubeck in his crossover material of the '50s. Combining a feathery piano touch with a swinging rhythm section, Loussier reveals the affinity between the two worlds. Loussier reworks pieces by Scarlatti, Marcello, Albinoni, and three by Handel (including the lengthy Concerto in F Major for Organ) effectively, more concerned with subtly outlining harmonic contours than exhibiting the ornamentation usually associated with baroque music. This approach produces tasteful and elegant French jazz, ideal for the cozy pub or the luxury-liner lounge. Additionally, the trio deserves a warm round of applause for rendering Pachabel's over-worked Canon in D Major in a fresh manner. --Wally Shoup

Customer Reviews:

Crossover compromise.......2007-01-04

When I first heard individual cuts from this CD I was intriqued by the synthesis of jazz and classical styles. I was also pursuaded initially by the reviews from Loussier's fans who contextualized this album as a gem within his larger body of work. Unfortunately, upon hearing the cuts all the way through, I found it to be another classic crossover compromise. Loussier is neither a good jazz pianist nor a respectable classical pianist. Combining the genres does not make him any better.

Baroque Favourites is a fantastic CD!.......2003-07-17

Jacques Loussier has evolved only faintly in the more than 40 years he has Played Bach. This version displays a mellow style only vaguely aged. The trio's current bass player, Benoit Dunoyer De Segonzac, has a particularly tantalizing way of interpreting the Baroques. In this effort Loussier has successfully recreated the pop Pachelbel Cannon in D into another hit. I particularly like the Handel tracks at open, midway and close. (and would too purchase Loussier's Water Music & Royal Fireworks CD). And this would have to be the coolest version of Albinoni's also popular Adagio. As expected, Telarc's crew of sound engineers and hifi techno gurus have created a flawless recoding. Buy it! You won't be disappointed.

Make It 4 1/2 Stars.......2002-08-24

Wally Shoup has pretty much nailed it in his review. I just want to add that it is remarkable how consistent Loussier has remained over a span of more than four decades.

Last night I played "Baroque Favorites" back-to-back with a reissue LP of his 1959 debut. I was struck by the similarity of sound and style between the two. I don't know if it's intentional, but with the latest bass player Loussier has nearly recreated the sound of the original trio. At the same time, the playing is more refined and subtle. "Play Bach" was very much a hit in 1959, but "Baroque Favorites" shows the concept is still fresh and that it is possible to grow without abandoning old ideas.

At first, like reviewer Dan Cohen, I thought that Loussier's treatment of other composers wasn't as strong as his Bach work. I've changed my mind, however. There's a smoother integration of Jazz and Baroque here than in "The Bach Book." The music has fewer non-Baroque parts grafted onto it, and the bass and drum solos are shorter and fit better. I also like the selection of pieces and their sequence, and I agree with Shoup about the Pachelbel Canon in D Major. I had hesitated to buy "Favorites" because of the inclusion of this Top 40 chestnut, but fortunately Loussier gives it a fresh spin.

Great jazz--great music.......2002-05-28

It had been a long time since I heard Jacques Loussier. Most of it devoted to the baroque music he so beautifully paraphrases in this album. Although his Bach is great, the disscovery of his Haendel is one of the great plusses of this opus. The French baroque musicians almost forgotten today, whose work I discovered recently, sound great when played as jazz.
A trully enjoyable musical experience to anyone who likes jazz and wants to hear more baroque music.

Not his best - but worthwhile.......2001-11-23

Loussier is at his best when he plays Bach. His rendition of Vivaldi's Four seasons is also excellent, and he is quite efficient in handling his Baroque favorites on this CD, but something is missing.
Loussier made his career on Bach because (and he said so himself) Bach makes the most Jazz-effective classical compositions. Perhaps these baroque compositions didn't go through Loussier's jazz-converter as well or as brilliantly as those others. Perhaps Loussier just coughed this CD without too much effort.
In any case - I bought it, and I am quite pleased I did (and this is the best bottom line possible...)

Amazingly beautiful collection ..........2006-04-29

Whatever the source, this is one of the most beautiful collections of so-called chill I've ever heard. If you're looking for wallpaper music, this may not be it, because one cannot help listening. From the almost operatic vocals (along the line of Emma Shapplin) to the loungey mixes (and excellent sound production), no one will complain when you put this in the player.

warning on counterfeit versions of this CD.......2005-08-10

I am editing my previously posted review of this CD because the compilation "Chill Out in Paris 4" that I bought from an Amazon third-party reseller is, in fact, a fake.

I've checked the Amazon tracklist on this CD against the copy that I received in the mail, and the playlist on my copy of "Chill Out in Paris IV" (note that the one I received has a Roman numeral IV and not a 4) does not at all match the playlist cited here on Amazon. In fact, the playlist on the "Chill Out in Paris IV" CD that I received consists of tracks lifted almost entirely from Buddha Bar VII. The first seven tracks on my CD are from the "Sarod" CD of Buddha Bar VII and the next eight tracks are from the "Sarangi" disk of Buddha Bar VII. Then somebody threw in B-Tribe's "Angel Voices" to finish it off, which is the only track not on the two-CD Buddha Bar compilation, that I can tell.

This CD appears to be a promo for the Buddha Bar compilation and not a brand-new release after all. In fact, even the art work on the CD that I received does not match the art work shown here, and as I pointed out earlier, the one I received has a "IV" versus a "4."

I have all three previous Chill Out in Paris compilations (those mixed by David Visan), and I think that all three of them are really good and hold up well over time -- gorgeous tracks, eclectic, evocative. However, this one is a real head scratcher.

I would love to hear from other buyers to see if they received the same peculiar CD that I did. I believe that there is a counterfeit CD making the rounds with the same name as this one. I advise you to buy your copy directly from Amazon and not from a reseller! Let the buyer beware. Thanks.
