Article from Poppa E for Black Owl Music
About PASCALE FROSSARD:
How can we do more .... To define an artist ..... Soul Jazz
Whether the present with an article published on his work written by journalists and musicians from the Black Music American tradition of Jazz and Soul.
This article is written by journalists at Black Owl Music, February 2007

Internationnal Jazz et Soul Sensation ... Pascale Frossard
By any stretch of imagination, “Clique & Clac” is an immediate masterpiece.
This album possess gorgeous melodies with lyrics that elevate this album from
being a run of the mill affair to one of those rare animals - a bonafide classic.
A note about the music - let the reviews not deter you. The music is very
Pascale-ish, in the best way possible, but there is something new here.
The standout here is “Mamy Blue”, the opening track. Wow. The harmonies
blend perfectly. The wonderful things about this record is that Pascale’s voice
is allowed to shine without the distraction of too much instrumentation.
“Amour Samba” is pure Brazilian jazz at its best.
My favorite little piece is other than the opener is “Chicken” - listen and
discover ! What makes me really happy about this album is the “Repeat Value”
it carries - I have already played it about six times through and through and it
just gets better on repeat listening.
Do yourself a favor and pick this up, just to discover where Internationnal music
is headed in general. This is a wonderful time for Internationnal music and for
Pascale Frossard, and it’s a testament to her growth and evolution that Pascale Frossard is the flagbearer for a new music generation.

"The Femme Animal, will seek her origins in the deepest roots of the dawn of time, she continues. In the snake, she finds the parfum and enjoyment of the melodies of Arab countries ... In the panther, passion and groove of rhythms of North American ... In the bird, the wonder and color poems and songs of yesteryear... In the gazelle, the sensuality and the beauty of Jazz ballets...
In the wolf, the power and ferocity of the Rock guitar licks"
"Soul, Funk, Jazz and Blues are still gasoline that fuels the consuming passion from Pascale Frossard for the music and the stage. the stage that she finds again... Beware from the blow of claws of the beautiful"
