Another great find from my Last.fm listening experience, Sanseverino encompasses what I really like about jazz: gypsy style guitar, foreign language, energy and style.
Le Tango des Gens is a great well rounded Jazz album. "Jazz album" actually sells this a little short, in my opinion. Even though I don't speak French, Sanseverino's vocal energy is equally matched by his guitar style, and it's accompanied instruments. (Accordian, electric guitar, etc.) Having 11 tracks in all, I have listened to this album many times, and haven't found a track I don't like. I am a huge gypsy style jazz fan, and Sanseverino adds some oomph to the style, switching up tempo's throwing in different vocals emphasis on certain tracks that have a tendency to get your blood pumping, much like a "rock" album would.
If you're a fan of jazz, and high energy gypsy style jazz, this is a must. I haven't got any other Sanseverino albums, but if they're as good as this one, then I'll become a loyal fan.
Official score: 4.25/5
