Album Notes Putumayo's first geographically based CD after their tenth anniversary celebrations, French Cafe covers the narrow concept of cafe music in an admirable manner, including a number of styles that have made their way through the Parisian caf systems and/or are inspired by the work of previous artists among the caf elite. Some of the classic performers from the Parisian scene are presented here, from the old Georges Brassens recordings, to a sultry little number from Brigitte Bardot, to the chanson innovator Serge Gainsbourg. Some of the more contemporary innovators on the market also appear here in force, from the jazzy Paris Combo, to the kicked-up string jazz of Sansvrino, to the smoother, half-dance music of Enzo Enzo. The album on the whole has a careful little bounce to it that's inherent in much of French contemporary music. It forces the listener to tap their feet, but not quite hard enough to force any dancing. It's this careful line that the music walks throughout the album. Vocals are expressive, but not so much that they scream emotion. It's all implied, but rarely given explicitly, and the music echoes this concept. There are certainly some omissions to be had here (Edith Piaf being perhaps the most notable), but on the whole Putumayo did a fine job in compiling the major styles and figures of the field. ~ Adam Greenberg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please note I use eBay's "pre-filled listing" information because I believe using it is necessary for success on eBay at this time. However, at times eBay's "pre-filled information" is wrong. I will not guarantee the accuracy of what eBay writes. I take photos of the front booklet, CD and back page. If you have any questions please email me.
All of my CD's are 100% original. I do not sell CD-R or fake CD's. Many of the CD’s are club editions, please look at the pictures. I also do not sell Chinese or Russian knockoffs. The pictures are of the actual CD and the CD is available.
Many of the CD's were purchased over the years from used CD stores which may have polished or buffed the CD's to look like new. For most of them I am unable to tell which ones have been polished as they look like new to me.
