Morocco Jazz #[nn]

Set against a sun-drenched Moroccan cityscape complete with a grand clock tower and bustling crowds, this Vents d'Ouest album from 2017 immediately draws you in with its vibrant period atmosphere. Julie Ricosse's cover places a glamorous blonde woman at the center, riding in a vintage red convertible alongside a dark-haired man and a red-haired companion, all radiating confidence and intrigue. Morocco Jazz looks like a thoroughly stylish slice of mid-century drama with a soundtrack you can almost hear.
