Perfect music to cook by.......2005-02-09

Charming, sweet music, full of balanced flavors, nostalgia without a hint of bitterness or acidity, and no off-tastes. Goes well with either red or white wine. Listening to this music while you cook will make all your food taste delicious.

Take the long way home.......2002-10-01

Listen to Chez Moi on the way home from work. Let the other saps blow their horns and shake their fists. By the time you get home you'll be ready for life as it was meant to be lived. Better yet, listen to all three of the Baguette Quartette's CDs and take the long way home.

BAGUETTE IS NOT JUST FOR BREAKFAST ANYMORE!!!!!!.......2002-06-27

I AGREE WITH THE OTHER REVIEW WITH ONE EXCEPTION, PIES ARE HOME MADE. MUSIC IS HANDMADE. THIS BAND HAS GIVEN ME HOURS OF ENJOYMENT. GREAT GUITAR PLAYING!!! ALMOST MAKES YOU WANT TO BUY AN ACCORDIAN..... WELL MAYBE NOT. THE OTHER 2 CD'S ARE MY FAVORITE MUSETTE SO FAR . CAN'T WAIT FOR #4 TO COME OUT. I AM LOOKING FOR MORE MUSETTE.(SOMEONE LET ME KNOW.) CAFE ACCORDIAN IS ALSO A GREAT BAND. NEED MORE!!!!!! CAN ANY ONE SAY MANOUCHE?clancey@concentric.net

Baguette Quartette -- A strong buy.......2002-06-04

Tired of Rap and Techno and amped, synthesized, industrialized "music" with a heart of a computer? Tired of movie sound tracks and nameless armies of techicians turning their dials and controling what you hear?

Baguette Quartette is like fresh air -- like a little country meadow compared to the concrete towers of rush hour gridlock.

This is homemade music with human, not machine-made, precision. Fine musicians playing with a warm cooperation, mutual respect and with an unmistakable sweetness. This is simple music that just plain makes you feel good. And if you feel like dancing around a little as you listen -- who cares?

Maybe this ain't the CD to take with you to the gym and get all sweaty to, but if you just want to sit down and listen to a small band of human beings playing with a committed innocence and honesty, than THIS is the CD for you.

The Baguette Quartette's latest is a wonderful reminder that local music used to be as distinctive as local food and wine.

Yet another very nice album.......2004-11-30

These guys have been reliably churning out top-notch musette albums since they started with L'air de Paris in 1995. They take you back to a time when cafes were better. That is, before kids could put on their Beastie Boys CDs at work, and cafes had real music. Great stuff to play while playing cards and drinking wine on the balcony - if only it weren't so bloody cold!

Album Description

Sol Hoopii is considered to be one of the greatest Hawaiian steel guitar players ever. He was the first Hawaiian guitarist to incorporate jazz improvisation into his playing, and his style was very influential to other steel guitarists of the 1920s-30s, including early western swing electric steel players. These recordings he made in 1933 and 1934 on acoustic steel guitar with his Novelty Quartette are the last before he switched to the electric guitar, and represent the pinnacle of his performing skill. Most have never been issued on LP or CD. This collection is a must for all fans of Hawaiian music, western swing, and early jazz guitar. 24 tracks, 76 minutes total. Includes many rare and unpublished photographs.

Customer Reviews:

An absolutely amazing collection for both Novices and Fans!.......2007-06-16

This collection of Hoopii recordings is so far and away superior to the two Hoopii discs issued previously on Rounder, it's almost laughable. This CD is wonderful, from the amazingly clear, delicately and sensitively restored recordings to the eye-catching graphics in the booklet. It's such a treat to have an accompanying booklet that's well-written, carefully researched and packed with photos that are never seen before. The music is a joy to listen to, of course, and I think this is an excellent item not only for Hoopii purists, but for those who are new to the music and might be searching for a proper introduction to the genre. I can't recommend this CD highly enough, I'm quite in love with it, and I have other Hoopii CD's in my collection, so I'm not exaggerating. My favorite tracks are: "I Like You", including the hilarious gasps and silly vocal asides that are so clear it sounds like it was recorded yesterday!
"On Our Parting Day", which is just a breathtakingly beautiful performance, and "There's Nothing Else To Do in Ma-La-Ka-Mo-Ka-Lu" which is quite pretty, and an old favorite. For Hoopii novices, as well as die-hard fans, THIS is the definitive Hoopii CD collection to own.

THE GOLD STANDARD OF STEEL GUITAR.......2007-05-02

The quality of sound on this most-recent compilation of Sol Hoopi's work is the best by far. If you're new to Hawaiian steel guitar then this is the right starting point. If you already love his music you'll be thrilled at the clarity, warmth and depth of these early-'30s acoustic-guitar recordings. The packaging is also superior, with comprehensive notes and lots of great photos.

This outstanding recording fills several serious voids in the catalog, not least of which is a complete set of the Gypsy Songs, some of Brahms's most exciting, irresistibly catchy, and fun choral music. We also get unsurpassed performances of his various sets of vocal quartets with piano--works that embody some of Brahms's most perfect and intimate musical expressions. This German choir gives exemplary interpretations, delivered with flawless technique. --David Vernier
