Carte Blanche's long-awaited EP 'Back To Henri' is their debut release of all original material. Composed by accordionist/bandleader Kate Dunphy, the songs are inspired by the styles of 20's 30's and 40's jazz with a modern twist. Lush string arrangements and incorporation of horns, multiple vocals, and more allow the listener to experience the band from a fresh new perspective, however the compositions never lose sight of Carte Blanche's classic sound which remains at the core of every track. Each song paints a vivid picture and tells it's own story from wistfully yearning for a lover in Paris to dancing under the moon, accompanied by musical styles ranging from swing to rhumba catalan.
