Paris Combo
While the group has an obvious debt to pay to guitarist Django Reinhardt's swinging jazz, it also incorporates elements that hint at Paris Combos' contemporary cosmopolitan character: Middle Eastern flavors on "Mobil'homme," or the percolating bongo on "Se�or." The group aims to entertain, and this album includes an even greater percentage of upbeat tunes, rather than ballads. Although translated lyrics would have been a nice addition to the liner notes, it's a small quibble for an album that is one of the most consistently enjoyable to come out in 2000. - Marty Lipp
