Dan Hicks if he had grown up on flamenco, gypsy, Hot Club

"Excellent! An updated European version of Dan Hicks, drawing on flamenco, gypsy, and Arabic strains rather than American roots to complement their Hot Club/cabaret. Exceptionally clean and crisp, to the point of irony. Stand-outs: tr 8-Sous la lune (sexy melancholy, deeply engaging, brooding). tr 9-L'Avenir incertain du Titanic (dark, spiky tango)"

Between swing and flamenco

"It is a great fusion of various flavors, and as a result it is unexpected and entertaining all the way through."

Good mix of cultures

"I am biased - Paris Combo is one of my favorite bands. The music is eclectic and upbeat.



It is a great CD to try to learn some French slang and some songs are slow enough to follow and learn by heart.



I personally used Paris combo songs to practice my French.



I strongly recommend this CD to those that like other bands such as Pink Martini."
