The Jazz Fauré Project: au bord de l'eau A cabaret confection of French Impressionism and American Jazz We're singing in a Renoir painting and giving the 19th century hit-tunes of Gabriel Fauré the velvet treatment—from swing to bossa, from wistful ballad to snappy joie de vivre.

To listen, visit Claudia's page at cdbaby.com	PARIS IN THE JAZZ AGE Bob Moreen sings at the keyboard, Patrick Holland shares the ivories and cabaret singer Claudia Hommel is sometimes on top of the piano, as we follow the love affair between American jazz performers and the jazz-crazy public of Paris. Storm in with James Reese Europe's 369th Infantry Hellfighter's Jazz Band, strut the cakewalk, shake the shimmy with Bricktop, dance the Charleston with Josephine Baker, swoon with Mistinguett and Maurice Chevalier, croon with Cole Porter, sing the blues with Duke Ellington, go avant-garde with Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, and Kurt Weill, and swing with the French "zazous". It's the "crazy years" between World Wars in jazz hot Paris. Inspired by the Smithsonian traveling exhibit of The Jazz Age in Paris, 1910-1940. View the playlist
