After several albums in the vocal jazz style, a few years ago he contacted the French pop duo Double Françoise, telling them of his keen appreciation of their style, his love for bossa nova, and his desire to work with them. By email, by messenger, a transatlantic friendship was born, resulting in two trips by Ryan from Michigan to France, to live, design, and record with them the songs that would make up this incredible album.
Comprising 7 originals and 3 covers, the album’s lush, quirky production blends bossa nova, jazz, pop, electro, lounge and chanson styles. The themes of the lyrics are often, of course, love and fascination.
Most of the tracks were recorded in France in the studio of Maxence Jutel (composer and producer of Double Françoise). Some of the tracks were recorded in Los Angeles by producer Dave Siebels, under Ryan’s supervision. Among other things, Maxence did the electronic parts. Several jazz musicians were involved, including Berlin-based drummer/percussionist Gabriel Hahn (New York Voices) and L.A. bassist Hussain Jiffry (Sergio Mendes, Herb Alpert). Maxence edited, mixed and mastered the whole.
