New French and Latin Jazz: Raquel Bitton

We are proud to have exclusive representation of the complete Master Catalog * of Raquel Bitton. Not only is Raquel Bitton one of the greatest interpreters of the Edith Piaf repertoire, but her albums span a wide range of styles from classic boleros to jazz standards in both French and English. Her album Boleros transports you back to her birthplace, French Morocco, where Spanish music was on everyone's lips while In A Jazzy Mood reflects Raquel Bitton's love for Paul Misraki's mesmerizing work and undeniable influence on French music.

* CATALOG REPRESENTATION OF THE MASTER RECORDINGS ONLY.

BOLEROS: Romance intertwined with passion - Boleros celebrates the music of Armando Manzanero, Consuelo Velasquez, Augustin Lara, Wello Rivas, Don Fabián and other legendary composers. Engineered by 11-time Grammy award winner Rafa Sardina and accompanied by a lush 28 piece orchestra, the tracks feature top Latin Jazz musicians including: Ramon Stagnaro on acoustic guitar (Andrea Bocelli, Shakira, Ricky Martin, Luis Miguel.)



IN A JAZZY MOOD: Songs of legendary French composer Paul Misraki whose impact on French music is nearly incalculable - In A Jazzy Mood features latin jazz tunes, sultry jazz ballads, and swing numbers in French and English. If you've seen the films of Orson Welles or Jean-Luc Godard you know the music of Paul Misraki. Bitton was thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with Misraki on this album.
