Tourist

Ludovic Navarre records as St Germain. For Tourist he did something few house producers tried: he hired real jazz musicians, trumpet, sax, double bass, guitar, and built the tracks around them instead of around samples and machines. The result swings. Rose Rouge loops a Marlena Shaw vocal, I want you to get together, over a Hammond organ and a horn section that sounds live in the room. The album crossed over to jazz fans, house fans, and people who liked neither, and it kept selling for years.
