Accordionist Vincent Peirani and saxophonist Emile Parisien seem to have been winning all France’s jazz prizes lately. This set of cleverly conceived duets is full of subtle backward glances to the French jazz tradition, especially the work of Sidney Bechet, the New Orleans soprano saxophone master who became a star in France during the 1950s. Using the lightest of touches, they evoke the spirit of the original, but also suggest the distance separating that era from today. They bring this off particularly well in a knowing, sidelong version of Temptation Rag.
