Product description

"Modern Times" is the ninth studio album by the acclaimed gypsy jazz band Pearl Django, released in 2007 under the Modern Hot Records label. This 13-track collection offers a vibrant blend of French jazz and swing music, showcasing the band's signature Hot Club style that has captivated audiences for over a decade.

With a runtime of 53 minutes, the album features a mix of original compositions and classic covers, including "Smile," "Missoula Flood," and "Cheek To Cheek." Each track is a testament to Pearl Django's mastery of the genre, with intricate guitar work, lively rhythms, and soulful melodies that transport the listener to the heart of Parisian jazz clubs.

The album marks a significant milestone for the band, as it was released shortly after the addition of Ryan Hoffman as the new rhythm guitarist. Hoffman's contributions, along with those of longtime members, bring a fresh yet familiar energy to "Modern Times."

From the upbeat "Mulholland Bounce" to the hauntingly beautiful "Sombre Dimanche / Le Rubis," this album is a celebration of the timeless appeal of gypsy jazz. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the genre, "Modern Times" is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the magic of Pearl Django.
