Album Notes

Skip Adams ,( publisher ) founder of Global graffiti Music said about Jacques PELLARIN 's music .

Composer and accordion virtuoso , Jacques PELLARIN is a musical " Master chef" of sorts .With a gleeful abandon ,he mixes the exotic flavors of New Tango , 1890's Parisian bal musette , Bossas, Jazz-ballad , Swing -valse , Balkan folk and even classic french cinema , serving it up in a contemporary dish that is hot , fresh and uniquely his own!

Like any respectable French meal, this cd has many courses , twelve in fact ;ranging from the zesty "Ménage à trois ", to the more muted classically influenced " Belle étoilée".
Adding variety to his eclectic table are several servings of Latina Cucina from Spain to South America in the form of such delicacies "Song for CO" , "Milong -Jazz" and " Free Tango."
Then, in case you've become complacent he presents you with a striking creation like " Un air de famille " , a swirling gypsy masterpiece , or a dash of the middle east with " Le swing des Carpates "
However, no French feast would be complete without some wonderful wine to wash it all down, and Jacques does not disappoint!
Close your eyes while you have a sip of " Valse pour François", "Blush " or " L'Insouciante ".
If you are not immediately transported to a wonderful little Brasserie on the Champs-Elysée , then you have simply never seen April in Paris .....Hungry yet ?

National public radio for " Sous d'autres Jazzitudes "
Jazzitudes 's songs like Valse pour François, Free tango and Ménage à trois have aired as extended " musical interludes " on the popular NPR program " Morning edition " in June 2007 with nearly 13 millions listeners !
