(4 out of 5 stars)
"This "Jazz in Paris" collection features several recordings of Henri Crolla from the 1950s, soon after his work supporting Yves Montand's long run of concerts. Crolla is heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt. A faster-than-usual version of "The Man I Love" and a tender "Lullaby of Birdland" are real highlights. The other tracks on the album are "Mon Homme/C'st Mon Gigolo", "Stardust", "Sonny Boy", "If I Loved You", "Begin the Beguine", "Little White Lies", "I'm In the Mood for Love", "There's a Small Hotel", "Body and Soul", "Alembert's" , "Continental", "All the Things You Are", "If I Had You", and "These Foolish Things.""
