   About Zazou
Zazou is a sextet featuring accordion, lead and harmony vocals, string bass, rhythm and lead guitars and percussion. Their repertoire, including original material, is inspired by the sophisticated melodies of French Jazz Manouche, Parisian Musette, Latin American popular songs and American Swing Jazz. Drawing together a multitude of musical influences and incorporating the driving European "string swing" rhythm, Zazou pays homage to music of the past while creating an original sound that is contemporary and exciting.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

de renouer avec la tradition des guinguettes du bord de l’eau.
Venez vous plonger dans un bal épris d’ailleurs
où la passion vous immerge dans une folie délirante !!!
Le vertige, alors, a des accents de poésie
et s’appelle valse musette, java, swing, tango…
Une fièvre délicieuse vous saisit. Venez vous perdre !!!

CIAO ZAZOU, WELCOME TO “PALESTISRAEL CITY” AND KEEF THE RIDE…
PEACE FOR KIDS BY BOOGIE BALAGAN


LAMENTATION WALLOO


When i was a boy
I was dreaming of a land
A Promised land for everyone
When i was a kid
I was diggin n’ diggin
Across the border line
I was sawing the seeds of time
Sun flowers, avatiah...feeling fine

My homeboy Ali was my buddy
But he was playing by the other side...

So we were climing up those mountains
Flyin’ high as eagles do...
N’ meanwhile
heads were banging
On the lamentation walloo

When i was a toy
I was praying with the gun
I didn’t know how to read
between the lines
When i was a toy
I was bleeding n’bleedin
It was a sign of spine
I was layin’ on my home grown sorrow
A kind of bleeding graps of wine
My homeboy Ali was my best enemy
But he was burried by the other side...
(Azriel : ps 9 the Walloo Book)

The YouTube video of my song Wall Street Bail Out Blues

http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=QCdWEHqZJuw

caught the interest of Wall Street Journal writer Rob Tomsho. The story he wrote starts on the cover of Friday's (2/6/09) WSJ and finishes on page A8 where a photo of me is also included. Here's a link to the online article.

http://online. wsj. com/article/SB123387724064054525. html#articleTabs%3Dinteractive

I was surprised that they used an even larger photo of me on this page and even more surprised that he mentioned me right after Neil Young. Mentioning Woody Guthrie's work in this piece was also a nice surprise. Being included in an article with so many other performers of note makes this an extra nice piece of promo.

Sawwwwwwwwwww ya later, Reg vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
