About

Tous Mes Caprices is the retitled European release of Isabelle Antena's On A Warm Summer Night, which remains one of her best-selling albums. Recorded in Brussels in late 1987, the set was produced by Isabelle with Martin Hayles, and reflects both her desire to cut a pure jazz album, and his own uptempo funk leanings. As well as superior originals such as "Je Respire", "Une Journee Banale A New York City" and "Romancia del Amor" (also released as a single), the album includes a gorgeous bespoke ballad co-written by noted French soundtrack composer Gabriel Yared (Eclat de Nuit), and a radical samba arrangement of Frank Zappa's "Village of the Sun". Released in Europe as Tous Mes Caprices, it was promoted with a Belgian tour supporting Vaya Con Dios, whose bass player Dirk Schoufs would go on to collaborate with Isabelle as a writer and musician, and become her second husband.
