Weekend Playlist - If I Had You

A little jazz with a French twist for your weekend. This is another song I discovered on Pandora. Have I mentioned how much I love listening to Pandora? Anyway, this is another example of a song from the Great American Song Book that has been reinvented and given a different twist. Connie Evingson is handling the vocals on this track and is backed by the Hot Club of Sweden (whom she coincidentally met on a trip to Stockholm). Enjoy.

Weekend Playlist - I'm Confessin'

Up until a few months ago I had no idea who Connie Evingson was. I blame credit Pandora for this discovery. She's a fantastic singer. But really what caught my attention is her style of jazz. It's the kind of thing I imagine hearing in a cafe in Paris. Maybe it's the accordion and violin in this track. It could also be the total lack of any percussion that stands out. Either way this is a really good song.
