He was once accused of being \"a rich superstar whose music only sounded good in a BMW.\" On A Hot Night in Paris, Collins again jumps into the shallow end of the pool and comes up playing Le Jazz Hot, with a 20-member band including a Count Basie arranger and some old-timers he borrowed from Buddy Rich's band to augment his regular players. To his credit, Collins worked out to a video designed for jazz drummers to get in shape for the project, but his muscular timekeeping lacks the color and subtleties of players born to the art form. Also, there is very little of what he does best: singing. The only vocals on this album are a few grunts and moans during an almost-note-perfect rendering of the Average White Band's funk classic, \"Pick up the Pieces,\" which almost rescues the album from banality. Thrown in for recognition value are instrumental renditions of some of his better known solo chart-toppers, such as \"Sussudio,\" \"I Don't Care Anymore,\" and \"Against All Odds.\" But more surprising, the former Genesis skinbeater threw in four numbers from the rock band's extensive songbook, including a swing version of the eccentric \"Los Endos Suite.\" The only thing missing from this CD, recorded live in Paris and Montreux, is the clinking of cocktail glasses. --Jaan Uhelszki\n\nProduct Description\n\n6-time Grammy-winner Phil Collins realizes a decades-long dream with the release of a Hot Night in Paris, his 1st-ever big band recording. Stepping behind the drum-kit in the role that earned him early fame with Genesis, Collins performs a set of inventively re-tooled big band versions of the songs that made him a household name, along with a few surprises. Highlights: \"Sussudio\" and \"Against All Odds\" (featuring an inspired sax solo by Gerald Albright).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 075678319822\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075678319822\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 075678319822\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46812804415747,"sku":"ZH-OTSN-TFMN","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/51Hm7gw40aL.jpg?v=1746882077","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/a-hot-night-in-paris","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
