Customer Reviews:

I Missed Patachou & the Album Did IT For Me!.......2007-04-09

I've seen her in person, and I've met her too [she's swell] and I was all sentimental and nostalgic and bought 2 albums.

They made me very happy. If you love Dietrich, Yvonne Constant and other marvelous chanteuses, then buy PATACHOU too!

Album Description

As inventors of the music hall, the French have created a tradition of literary chanson - be it poetic, satirical or dramatic - of which Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet and Patachou are among the most illustrious performers. Patachou, the protege of Edith Piaf, is the quintessential French chanteuse, and as Paris witnessed a veritable explosion of chanson clubs they launched the big stage careers of a post-war generation of glittering stars, among which Patachou was one of the most popular.

Patachou is a delight!.......2007-02-12

This CD delivered exactly what I wanted! I missed PATACHOU, and was in a very sentimental mood. So I was so happy to get this CD and get her back again!

Patachou is Pleasing.......2006-01-23

This CD features some of the best work of Patachou, a singer who has had success in the United States and France in music, theater and films. She appeared on the "Ed Sullivan" show many times and was a champion of Georges Brassens when he first came on the scene.

Patachou has a pleasant voice which often features wry humor and some risque lyrics. The songs on this CD range from up tempo songs like "Rue Lepic", and "Au bout de la semaine" to love songs like "Plus Bleu que tes Yeux"

She sings with Georges Brassens on "Papa Maman" and interprets several of his works, such as "Brave Margot" and "Les Amoureux des Bancs Publics" She does a very witty version of "Le Fiacre" made famous by Jean Sablon.

There is a double entendre song "Le joueur de Luth" which is delighful and a beautiful song about what life has to offer "Tire l'aiguille" Two songs about a woman's feelings about being rejected, "Domino" and "Les Petits paves" are quite powerful.

There is something here for everyone, even if one doesn't understand French. Patachou's voice is very pleasing.

The sound quality is below standard,however, with a noticeable hiss on several of the tracks. Despite that fact, this CD is highly recommended.

Challenging and Diverse.......2003-10-10

I met George Petit in 1997 when I was working in Burlington, VT. Despite the fact that he didn't know me, he invited me to the release party of PATACHOU (even though I didn't have an official paper invitation). The band was mesmerizing, the music melodically hypnotic. Needless to say, I was impressed; I ran out and bought PATACHOU the next day.

George is a master jazz guitarist (and a gentleman to boot). His his style is fluid, and his soloing is very mature - he avoids the "noodling" that is the bane of most jazz musicians (a holdover from bee-bop). The solos are actually seen as development of the theme, rather than a boring technical display. Most jazz does nothing for me precisely because of this solo noodling; George's album is a welcome releif from the wateland.

His band is excellent, and they tastefully interpret George's music with sublety and grace - with just enough power when called for.

This is a marvelously enchanting album which has always been at the top of my jazz collection. It rates up there with Bruford's IF SUMMER HAD ITS GHOSTS. Whenever I play it at work, everyone says they enjoy it, and they want to know what it is.

Thanks, George, not only for a great evening at the release party, but for continued joy through your album, PATACHOU.
