CD REVIEW: Billet-Deux - Deux
By Ben Ohmart - 02/06/2009 - 02:39 AM EST
Artist: Billet-Deux Website:http://billet-deux.com/ Genre: Jazz CD Review: I agree with previous reviews of this cd. It is one of the best jazz releases of 2008. Even though I'm listening in 2009. It's a distinctly guitar-drive jazz album, almost classical in orientation.
4 on 6
Be-Bop
Goodbye Porkpie Hat
Sarita
Do You Know What It Means (to Miss New Orleans)
Joy Spring
Anouman
Fishwife Blues
Pent-Up House
Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise
Ordinary Girl
Tu Vuo Fa L’Americano
Those are the stars, along with
Troy Chapman - guitar
James Hinkley - cello
Keith Bowers - guitar
Michael Yocco - bass
Roget Bennett - drums
Each contains "the sophistication and coolness of modern jazz" and they are right to call themselves such.
