Lifetime favorite.......2007-05-24

Cafe du Soleil quickly became one of my all-time favorite CD's. I believe that a little familiarity would make it one of your favorites too. This absolutely wonderful music is hard to categorize as to genre. It could definitely be termed jazz, and is somewhat reminiscent of the accordians of Paris and the general category of jazz accordian. The tracks of the CD vary widely in style, demonstrating the brilliance and versatility of this great composer and fascile artist. I have been hoping for years that Brian Mann would grace us with a new CD, so far to no avail. Please, Maestro Mann, bless us once again with your talents and gifts.

Brian Mann's CD is okay in my book. Not a great CD but worth a few bucks if only for Je t'aime, We're A Family (NOT "We're in a Family) and the catchy Dab In Da Mida (scat vocal). After the fifth track, my attention seems to wander. The Red Army Song just doesn't seem to fit in with the other selections but one will have to admit that any artist playing the accordion as the lead instrument has got to be brave. Some of the songs attempt a neo-French sound played with a jazz flare. Reclining Civilization fooled me into thinking the rest of the CD was going to be good. Other than the three songs mentioned above, I can't get excited over the remainder of the CD and can only muster three stars... and I love good jazz. This collection of *songs* just never did find a solid genre focal point so the songs seem to meander into various styles of music without picking some thing we could all identify with.

This is a wonderful CD.......2004-06-22

I don't remember how I came to purchase this CD, almost 15 years ago. But I still bring it out from time to time and I enjoy it all over again. It's good mood music if you want something light and jazzy, but at the same time with some playfulness and complexity. If anyone reads this and can suggest other artists in this vein, I'd love to hear about it.

I looked it up on Amazon to see if Brian Mann had ever released any other works. If he had I would have bought them based solely on how much I enjoyed this one.
