Romane's second album
Ombre is another collection of wonderful, swinging jazz in the tradition of
Django Reinhardt. Supported by bassist Pierre Maingourd, violinist
Florin Niculescu, accordionist
Francis Varis and guitarists Philipe Cuillerier and
Laurent Bajata,
Romane plays a selection of original material, plus two covers ("Chesses Croises," "Chez Fernand"). Throughout the album,
Romane's playing is graceful, good-humored and utterly involving, and the result is a thoroughly delightful record. It's so good, you'll swear that it's
Django reincarnated.
