Je Chante Lyrics Jacques Roure ,Iza Loris Music: Daniel Roure

In 2015, jazz singer and pianist Daniel Roure released the single, “Je Chante,” the latest in a long line of singles and albums to deliver jazz texture in the French language. Roure is joined by Christophe and Philippe Le Van on bass and drums respectively, forming a jazz trio that accomplishes a large amount in a song that’s a little over two and a half minutes.

“Je Chante” is driven by a constantly chugging, but not overly complex piano melody. The brisk pace is accompanied by a lyric that’s just as briskly delivered in Roure’s husky, but beautifully smooth voice. Christophe’s bass is simply there for rhythmic purposes, not entering the spotlight at all, and the same can be said for Philippe’s drumming. He opts for brushes instead of sticks, giving the percussion a soft, shuffling sound that doesn’t detract from the vocal.

In fact, all of the instrumentation here basically serves to be soft enough to let the lyric flow, but also maintain enough of a presence to keep the song lively and energetic. “Je Chante” accomplishes this staggeringly well. Every part is significant and memorable without being overstated. It’s the epitome of less is more with the only true “solo” of sorts being Roure’s scat singing towards the song’s end.

Regardless of whether you’re a fan of French language jazz or not, “Je Chante” is deserving of your attention. It’s actually more deserving of it if you’re not a fan of the genre because of how wonderful an introduction it can serve to this style of music. By mixing simplicity with depth and smooth vocals with a sweet lyric, Daniel Roure has constructed an absolutely charming single that any music listener can appreciate.

New Single Dans La nuit Bleue De L'automne . Lyrics :Jacques Roure et Iza Loris,Music Daniel Roure

Daniel Roure’s love of jazz was evident on his 2014 album, Bar de Nuit (Bar of the Night). Whether he was performing at a fast tempo or a ballad tempo, the French cabaret/chanson vocalist was consistently jazz-minded on that excellent release. And he continues to move in a jazz-minded direction on his 2016 single “Dans la Nuit Bleue.”

In French, “Dans la Nuit Bleue” means “During the Blue Night,” and this relaxed, mid-tempo offering has a bluesy, smoky jazz-noir influence that Roure sounds perfectly comfortable with. The lyrics are in French, but even those who don’t speak French will pick up on the jazz connection. The melody is clearly swing-flavored, and one hears Roure using Duke Ellington’s name, mentioning George Gershwin’s standard “Summertime” and using the English-language term “blue note.” This single demonstrates that one need not perform in English to employ an abundance of jazz imagery.

“During the Blue Night” describes a female pianist who Roure encounters in a piano bar. She is playing instrumental versions of Ellington songs on an acoustic piano; Roure requests “Summertime,” saying, “Je le chanterai pour vous” (“I would sing it for you”). Notice that Roure uses “vous” instead of “toi”; in French, “vous” is the formal “you,” while “toi” is the familiar “you.” Roure, in the song, is formal with the pianist but would like to get to know her better. And the French lyrics work perfectly well with Roure’s jazz-influenced melody.

English is the dominant language of vocal jazz and traditional pop, but the romance languages can also work really well in a jazz-minded or jazz-friendly environment. That is true when Spanish is used with Afro-Cuban jazz or Portuguese is used with the Brazilian bossa nova. And as “Dans la Nuit Bleue” shows, it is also true when French is used with jazz-influenced chanson. Indeed, there have been many examples of that over the years, from the soundtrack for the French movie Un Homme et une Femme (a Man and a Woman) in 1966 to young French singer Zaz’s exuberant swing version of the standard “Paris Sará Toujours Paris” (a gem associated with Maurice Chevalier) in 2015.

Those who enjoyed Roure’s Bar de Nuit album should have no problem at all appreciating the memorable “Dans la Nuit Bleue.”
