New CD from Billet Deux

 

Whidbey Island’s own Billet Deux has released its second album, appropriately titled “Deux”.  It is a lovely CD drawing from a range of sources, from gypsy jazz to Bebop.  The band’s unique configuration of bass, drums, cello and two guitars offers the listener a pleasing twist on traditional gypsy jazz.  Their rhythm section lays down a solid, tasty, understated groove that gives the cello and lead guitar room to shine.

My favourite piece is Be-Bop by Dizzy Gillespie.  Pick up your guitar and try to play that outro.  Once you’ve got that under your fingers, try playing it with someone else – in unison or harmony!
