I discovered Patricia Kaas quite by accident. It was on a vacation
trip to New Zealand, a experience I
recommend heartily by the way. Anyway, I caught an ad on television
for an album called Piano Bar, noted that it included a cover
of If You Go Away, a song I've always liked, and set out to
find a copy. Which I did, on a stop in Rotorua. And then I heard it
again in a Thai restaurant in Christchurch; apparently I wasn't the
only one influenced by those ads. Anyway, on returning home I was
excited to tell a jazz buff friend about my discovery, only to learn
that he already knew about Ms. Kaas and had her other albums. So we
made a little trade, to the enrichment of all concerned. And now it's
your turn. Sadly, this is the only one of her recordings available
here. But it's a start.
