Various Artists - Anthologie Sonore - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This anthology brings together the first three albums by the Oignons, an inescapable jazz group whose mission was to restore to it's former glory every vigorous ounce of the New Orleans style not by taking the old to make it something new, but by emphasizing all the avant garde power that lies behind the main style of the first era in jazz. And the band puts it's own inimitable signature to the compositions and arrangements here by adding a tap-dancer to the rhythm section the result overflows with communicative energy. This retrospective set underlines how much trumpeter and leader Julien Silvand succeeded in establishing his band as the worthy heirs to France's eminent New Orleans representatives, from Claude Luter to the Haricots Rouges and Orphéon Célesta.

Thanks to what was then called the 'post', the French were able to follow, mostly with their families, all the great events of their time. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad. The Sound Library delivers here, an anthology of 92 of these historical moments. Divided chronologically (1900-1939, 1940-1944, 1945-1952, 1953-1959, 1960-1974, 1978-1999) on eight albums, they also have an emotional and evocative value which, from Édouard Branly's first speech (1900) to that of Lionel Jospin in The National Assembly on Kosovo (1999), through the inauguration of the first metro line (1903), plunge the listener back into history. Moving. (Victor BATTAGGION - HISTORIA)

His tenderness and humor have made Bourvil one of the most endearing characters in our heritage. After the anthology InchBourvil - 1946-1953Inch, FA5131), this second part, directed by Jean-Baptiste Mersiol, continues the musical career of the artist which marks a turning point from the year 1955. Indeed, after having made room for humor, he adds a more InchseriousInch repertoire to his artistic palette. This 3-album box set brings together his great hits, including the unmissable InchFruit saladInch, the tender InchIt was good (Le Petit Bal perdus)Inch, the comic InchMoonlight in MaubeugeInch and the hilarious InchAnti-alcoholic talkInch.
