Julien’s role

leader

A “hot jazz” palette — accordion, clarinet, violin, bass, and guitar — built to evoke early swing while staying flexible and present. The repertoire ranges from American swing to European jazz, with blues and classical influence woven in. It’s charming, portable, and instantly communicative for a room. (out of print)
