Always Love: 8½ Souvenirs and "L'Amour Toujours"



8½ Souvenirs, an Austin band of the 1990s that disbanded about 2000, is the performer of today's random tune. While called an American swing jazz band, this group led by French-turned-American lead guitarist Olivier Giraud was clearly influenced by gypsy jazz and other European and Latin American styles. The band's name came from the Fellini movie and the Django Reinhardt song Souvenirs. This song, L'Amour Toujours, is from 8½ Souvenirs' 1999 album Twisted Desire.
