How bebop was born at Minton's Playhouse: « During the time in the forties when it was operating, we used to go up there and jam ... After the last show we'd go to Minton's and sit in or listen to the guys play. It seemed like the music would sound better at that time of the morning. They didn't have nothing better to do but to go to bed. They didn't have to make no shows or be between shows. The job was over. » says Dizzy Gillespie's autobiography.

Mardi Soir Sessions Vol VI Rumble in the Jungle

During his Cotton Club days Ellington developed his "Jungle Style", a popular musical innovation of the 1920s. When the trumpet player Bubber Miley joined Ellington's band, he brought with him his unique plunger mute style of playing. This "growling" came to be called the "Jungle Sound", and it was largely responsible for Ellington's early success... Carried away by the compelling profoundness of the swing jazz impressions of jungle sounds, we find ourself flowing down the Congo River to the abysmal depths of its hidden origins, then braving the dangers of unpenetrable Amazon Rainforest, looking for lost treasures, hidden deep in the jungle.

From the very origins of Harlem's dance halls to Benny Goodman's Carnegie Hall concert, we try to imagine just how hot New York's night life must have been swingin' in those days. All the tracks on this compilation were selected in order of the extend in which they remind us of those other « tracks », those left by dancers' shoes on the wooden floor of a ball room, after a night of frenzy. So dust of your tuxedo, iron your nylon dress ... and get ready to jump and jive, because Los Hermanos' « Stririn' the Hotpot » is home to the happy feet.

Point of departure for this musical journey is Hollywood, paying tribute to Carmen Miranda, considered to be the precursor of Brazil's Tropicalismo, with her version of 'South American Way'. Carmen Miranda was a Portuguese-born Brazilian samba singer, Broadway actress and Hollywood film star popular in the 1940s and 1950s. She was, by some accounts, the highest-earning woman in the United States and noted for her signature fruit hat outfit she wore in the 1943 movie 'The Gang's All Here'.

« Moody's » would be the very last late-night hang-out with a bar still selling in one or the other anonymous north-american metropolis struck by economic crisis and prohibition. The kind of place musicians would meet at after their gigs. The way we imagine it, some of the greatest jazz figures of that era would meet there in the most casual of manners, and if the mood was right, they would end up playing their tunes to one another.

We like to imagine how things could have happened if the mood got all blue and sentimental one drafty autumn night, just how it might have sounded if all of them played and sang their most beautifull ballad, straight from the heart, and suddenly, everything became deeply meaningful, down there, at that particular place, at that particular time, 'round midnight.

Mardi Soir Sessions volume I - The Paris Connection

The Mardi Soir sessions are a monthly rendez-vous presenting a one hour long musical journey. They go by themes, each times presenting a different area of the wide spectrum that defines the  musical habitat of Los Hermanos Brothers. Sometimes they come with a story, sometimes they don't...but by the end of day it's all about ... The Music.

So for those of you that skipped the intro here's the first episode:

The Paris Connection - Los Hermanos Brothers:

A group of fugitive bank robbers takes refuge in a youth reform center, holding the management hostage. At first, the pupils are impressed by the gangster's bravoure, but finally their solidarity towards the management prevails and they succeed in rendering the criminals up to the police. Directed by Hervé Bromberger in 1959, this combination of social drama and genuine French polar entitled « Loups dans la bergerie », was Gainsbourg's first opportunity to write a music score for a film as well as his first attempt at composing jazz. The late Serge Gainsbourg made a name for himself fairly early in his recording career with his combination of French cabaret, drunken bordello music and extravagant exotica. The compositions he made for « Loups dans la bergerie » however, can undeniably be labelled cool jazz, though they are rarely given time to develop and feature no major soloists. Most of these songs, such as angoisse,  black march,  fugue or wake me at five can be found on the 20-track collection Du Jazz Dans le Ravin which samples Gainsbourg's early work from between 1958 and 1964. Gainsbourg's jazz sides clearly presage his future work and offer much of the same attitude and outlook which defined his later, more provocative music.
