La Chanson Française brings the romance, elegance, and melancholy of classic French song into a vivid jazz setting. Inspired by his time living in Paris, composer and arranger Terry Vosbein recasts melodies associated with Édith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, and Charles Trenet for a swinging nonet of brass, reeds, and rhythm section. Beloved songs including “La Vie en Rose,” “La Mer,” “Ne me quitte pas,” and “Sous le ciel de Paris” gain fresh colors, inventive solos, and irresistible rhythmic life, joined by Vosbein’s original tribute to the City of Light, “Dans le vieux Montmartre.” Sophisticated, melodic, and warmly performed, La Chanson Française is jazz with a distinctly Parisian soul.
