This is Gypsy Jazz for the modern era. With these twelve selections Patrick Berrogain’s Hot Club Combo achieves a perfect balance between the Gypsy and the jazz aspects of the music. Angelo Debarre’s vituosity pulls toward the total Gypsy vibe while Patrick's take on the music, more rooted in the jazz idiom makes for a very compelling and unique sound. Add to this the delightful voice of Rosemary Berrogain, the hard swinging sax of Tripp Sprague, the brilliant playing of accordionist Lou Fanucchi and you get a unique recording. Half of the material is comprised of original compositions by Patrick Berrogain, the other half a tribute to Django Reinhardt (Black and White, Fleur d’ennui...) and the French classics repertoire (La Vie en Rose, Le Danseur de Charleston... ) through refreshing arrangements.
