Formed by the violin-slinging brothers Eric and Olivier Slabiak, Les Yeux Noirs is a French outfit that draws upon Manouche Gypsy jazz, Romani music and klezmer for a sound that's rooted in tradition but surprisingly contemporary. Credit their willingness to dust their arrangements with slight electronic touches and a freewheeling, global aesthetic that draws in influences from across many borders. There is a simultaneous sense of joy and pathos in the performances of Les Yeux Noirs, making for a lively, ebullient blend with unexpected depth. - Paul M. Davis sanjose.com
