O’s Notes: French-Canadian chanteuse Myriam Phiro sings swinging, gypsy jazz around the world. She’s Becoming Marlene Dietrich on her latest release. The tribute captures the feel of the time and place with the help of a fine band with musical director, arranger Hyuna Park (p, accordion), Elias Bailey (b), Linus Wyrsch (t-sax, cl), and Alex Raderman (d). “My Blue Heaven” has a New Orleans feel, “The Boys In The Back Room” has a playful spirit, and “Que Reate-t-il/I Wish You Love” is sung beautifully in both French and English to impart the spirit of Dietrich.
