Giovanni Mirabassi's "Swing rendez-vous" is a captivating jazz album that serves as a soundtrack to the film of the same name by Gérôme Barry. Released on December 6, 2022, under the Jazz Eleven label, this 25-track album spans 55 minutes of enchanting melodies that blend humor, poetry, and a touch of melancholy. Mirabassi, a renowned pianist and composer, crafts a collection of previously unreleased standards, paying homage to jazz pioneers like Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller.
The album follows the story of Théodore, a shy Parisian who discovers a mystical jazz standard from the 1920s with the power to inspire love. The music seamlessly transitions between Paris and New York, offering a rich tapestry of sounds that are both spirited and tender. With the exceptional vocals of Tatiana, the album is a delightful journey through swing, evoking a sense of nostalgia and romance. Each track, from "Thème de Théodore - Variation 1" to "The Sound of Love - Version Intégrale," is a testament to Mirabassi's musical prowess and his ability to create a soundtrack that is as enchanting as it is memorable.
