MusicDish Review: Jacques Pellarin's "Fleur De Bossa"

Featuring the amazing versatile technique of Jacques Pellarin, "Fleur De Bossa" falls under the unmistakable rhythmic yet smooth bossa nova feel. Recorded in the U.S. on May 8th, 2015 at C.A.S. Studio, this piece is part of the EP Jacques Pellarin Productions "Back to Philadelphia." It also features David Bopdrummer (drums), Jim Cohen (Guitar), and Christopher Davis-Shannon (upright bass). The rhythmic patterns and round tones of this piece brings upon images of relaxing in a small intimate cafe enjoying food and drink while allowing the music to carry you away to one's own personal paradise. The catchy six note motif played by the accordion in the introduction is the foundation for the entire piece. The call and response between the accordion and the electric guitar combined with smooth transitions gives this piece it's traditional bossa nova groove. By playing with light and darkness, the film is able to capture the intimate essence of the piece. As the dream comes to an end, the listener is left wanting more upon realizing that it was all a distant memory.
