Cafe De Flore: Rendez-Vous a Saint-Germain-des-Pres

Amazon.com
Taking a cue from the Buddha Bar compilations, this collection of nu-jazz swing and martini music represents the sound and feel of a popular coffeehouse, in this case the Café De Flore in Paris’ Saint-Germain district. With the likes of Serge Gainsbourg, Diana Krall. and Eartha Kitt represented, the music is both grown up enough to play for the in-laws and filled with enough hipster irony to attract members of the younger cocktail nation. The combination of young and old plays out literally on record as well; songs from icons like Nina Simone rub up against the 21st century dance-bop of Lakasha and Paris Combo. More jazz than dance, and much! better suited for a rainy day than sunny Ibiza-style chill compilations, it's ritzy cabaret-style pop. --Matthew Cooke

Product Description

Ambience, cafe au lait and croissants!.......2005-09-24

I stumbled upon this amazing CD when I was shopping for the Saint Germain Des Pres Cafe series (all of which are fabulous by the way).
The ambience from the first track, "I Feel Blue" sets the scene for the whole album, however expect surprises, just when you settle back and chill to the tunes of more like this, (especially the beautiful track 8, "Ou Es-Tu Passe Mon Saint Germain Des Pres"? by Nicoletta), suddenly expect to tap your feet to the amazing "Quand On S'Aime" by Nana Mouskouri (I know!!!) and Michel Legrand. This uptempo track is contagious and continues through the CD. Contemporary artists and tunes mix with beautiful sounds from Nina Simone and Blossom Dearie. Put this CD on, make a cafe latte, sit back in the sun with the Sunday papers and just relax..you deserve it.

I picked up Cafe De Flore to try and learn some French before a vacation, and I haven't been able to quit listening to this wonderful album. The songs are arranged perfectly, and the diverse selection of artists shows a true appreciation for all types of music.

If you like downtempo, chill, soul, or jazz, you will adore this album. Take a chance and learn some French. You won't regret it.
