Review highlights: 69 Année Érotique

Paul Abella, Chicagojazz.com:

"Origin Records strikes again with another outstanding disc..."

“Oh man, this really is hip!”

"I loved Bishop’s disc from the second I put it in the CD player..."

"... fat bass lines and funky drum grooves..."






C. Michael Bailey, Allaboutjazz.com:

"...beautiful decadence, brilliant and bright."

"...psychedelia wisping into the edges of post-war Western society right before the Summer of Love and the sexual revolution."

"Todd Bishop has done something special here, respectfully presenting Gainsbourg's music with [Bishop's] own... American flair. [He] readily captures the international sexiness of Gainsbourg's tunes while buffing them to a 21st Century shine. "




Adam Greenberg, Allmusic.com:

"...what modern free jazz could sound like while still [being] entirely listenable..."

"...slinks and squirms all the way, keeping a sultry vibe..."

"An excellent bit of reworking..."




Dan McClenaghan, Allaboutjazz.com:

"...a strange and excellent musical experience."

"...a peculiar yet distinctively compelling sound..."

"...post-listening cold shower required."
