A starred review
Publishers Weekly all jazzed up about Swing Café !
PW recently gave a starred review of the storybook-music CD Swing Café concluding that it was “intelligent, poetic, and provocative entertainment”. Here’s the lead-up to that comment: “Dautremer's visual imagination taps the subconscious brilliantly: Miro, at the end of his short life, lies cradled in spider webs; when Zaz performs at last, it's beneath an old Victrola made of newspaper. Norac's writing is equally arresting: ‘[Zaz] has a transparent body, so you will be able to see the beat of her heart.’ An enclosed CD supplies cherished jazz gems from Ellington, Calloway, Fitzgerald, and more, which accompany a lovely audio recording of the story.”
