Let's Go See Her: 8½ Souvenirs and "Chez Yvette"

Today's random tune, Chez Yvette, is by 8½ Souvenirs. 8½ Souvenirs was an Austin band of the 1990s that disbanded about 2000. While called an American swing jazz band led by French turned American lead guitarist Olivier Giraud, it was clearly influenced by gypsy jazz and other European and Latin American styles. It's name came from the Fellini movie 8½ and the Django Reinhardt song Souvenirs. Chez Yvette is from 8½ Souvenirs' 1997 album Souvonica.
