Bittencourt,Jacob Cafe Du Bresil CD

Long considered the Brazilian counterpart of jazz, the choro is a popular form of instrumental music that shows a rare sensitivity in combining finesse and melodic depth with a fullness that is totally Latin. With their "Caf? du Br?sil", the Paris Gadjo Club, the Parisian scene swing group, offers a subtle fusion of the two styles. The result sounds as if Django Reinhardt and Jacob do Bandolim- two icons, both incandescent virtuosos of 20th century instrumental music-were playing in the same room. Here the group bridges the genres with a brio that makes it all sound so natural: a musical bridge between Paris and Rio, two strongholds of culture and art de vivre, two cities that contemplate each other in admiration.
