Description

Romain Vuillemin is first and foremost a guitarist specializing in gypsy swing and Django Reinhardt.<p> He is therefore part of the Generation Django group which pays tribute to the Master.</p><p> Here he is singing on this album, which features great standards from the American repertoire, including Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, Fats Domino and his "Blueberry Hill," and New Orleans traditionals such as "Saint James Infirmary." The Latin song "Historia de un amor" is also included.</p><p> Surrounded by three solid bandmates who truly play jazz, he delivers a pleasant, sensitive crooner's journey through these timeless standards, also showcasing his masterful guitar solos. A great lover of the instrument, he often plays vintage guitars from the 1930s to 1950s on some of these standards. The album's sound thus retains a distinctly vintage feel, yet boasts a genuinely modern production.</p><p> A comfortable armchair, a glass of your favorite drink, and let yourself be charmed!</p>
