Daniel Roure – Paris By Jazz (2022)
Daniel Roure is bringing back the good old days of swing with this single ‘Paris By Jazz’. Bringing the rhythmic sway of jazz to the pizzazz of swing, this single combines the best elements of both genres. With an easy-listening vibe that slides into lounge, he will transport you back in time while keeping something distinctly modern in the back.
While the single brings the heyday of swing and jazz back to life, it is also a delightful taster for Roure’s album Rarities. Using the retro jazz style that has gained him global acclaim, he brings the wonder and passion of the 40s and 50s jazz to a new audience. Whether you are a fan of jazz and swing already or are dipping your toes into the sound for the first time, this single is sure to get your tastebuds tingling.
‘Paris By Jazz’ hits you with that old-school jazz sound from the first moment. The piano and shuffle of drums are a seductive slide across your shoulders that make you want to gently bop to the rhythm. The horns add a delightful flair to the sound that makes you want to close your eyes and just take everything in. It is a masterful melody that makes use of each instrument perfectly combining them into the soundtrack of French cafes and 1950s movies. While the instruments all come together for the decadent vintage flow of the single, they are also given a chance to shine. The solos bring the beauty of each instrument to our ears while putting a little smile on our faces.
Slinking its way between the jazz instrumentation are Roure’s vocals. The crooned French lyrics enhance the retro feeling of the track that makes you think of old black and white movies set in Paris. While the lyrics are in French, the language barrier doesn’t really affect your enjoyment of the single. In fact, not fully knowing what is being said may actually make everything better as you are transported into a completely different world through the music. The track gives you a moment away from the rush of the modern world and lets you luxuriate in a simpler moment where all you have to worry about is soaking up as much of the jazzy atmosphere as possible.
Daniel Roure transports you back in time to soak up the vintage jazz tones and French vocals of ‘Paris by Jazz’. The melody is a masterful weaving of instrumentation that comes together in an addictive flow while letting each instrument shine. Roure’s crooning vocals slink between the melodic tones enhancing the retro vibes of the single.
