Afternoon in Paris with Sacha Distel and Comme Toi with Ishtar #ParisInJuly

Let's share some music today for Paris in July hosted my Emma at Words and Peace.

Afternoon in Paris is a fantastic album and we listened to it again last night.  Read about it here in Jazz Messengers.  It's a beautifully recorded album from 1956, recorded in Paris and the only collaboration between John Lewis and Sacha Distel.

To listen click HERE and I think you'll love it.



Check out this song Comme Toi by the French-Israeli singer called Ishtar.  She sings with a French based band called Alabina.  We have a Buddha Bar CD with various selections.  We particularly like Ishtar's version of this song in French -   Listen HERE.  

Sorry but I don't know how to embed the YouTube links...but if you click on that link you'll hear the song.





 Buddha Bar is famous for it's restaurant and music, based in Paris France.  Not all the albums appealed to us but they have a unique catalogue and following.  I'd love to eat there!

Sharing this Readerbuzz for Sunday Salon and with Words and Peace for Paris in July.  Upcoming are some book reviews and foodie posts. Au Revoir for now!

    Great music, thanks for sharing. I'm actually surprised there are no lyrics with Sacha Distel. He was a very popular singer when I grew up in France. Ishtar has a great voice!

    I particularly like the jazzy Afternoon in Paris. Great to listen to while I'm on the road in a hotel room, lol. Hurray for 1956 ... and this collaboration. Keep the links coming.

      Susan, it's a good album and we listen to it quite a bit. Hope the tennis reffing went well and you are home soon.
