KEYBOARD CONVERSATIONS® WITH JEFFREY SIEGEL
Two decades spent crisscrossing the globe — playing to enthusiastic audiences from Sydney to San Francisco and Berlin to Beijing — have enabled France’s Paris Combo to create a unique, cosmopolitan sound, a fun-loving mix of swinging gypsy jazz, cabaret, French pop and Latino and Middle Eastern rhythms. Fronted by the charismatic vocals of Belle du Berry whose “onstage demeanor is so expressive that communication is never an issue… Part gamine charm, part playful seduction, her delivery fuses theatrical instincts with jazz-inflected phrasing that accentuates the band’s irresistible rhythmic and melodic hooks” (The Age, Melbourne 2017).
The boisterous “Rage Over a Lost Penny,” the exhilarating “Polonaise,” the intimate “Bagatelles,” the “Theresa Sonata” (who was she?), and the “Farewell Sonata” (who was leaving, and why was Beethoven deeply affected?)
