The following video offers a nice example of so called “musette swing”. Emile Prud’homme was a famous accordeon player who recorded many sides for the Odeon label. Usually these were musette style recordings but he also made some jazzy musette records.

The record featured in this video was released in 1942. “Oh ma m’ami” was composed by Paul Durand – who composed “Seul ce soir” – a legendary French wartime song…

The video features images of Paris during the Occupation – some of these images were propaganda images meant to show life was going on as usual in Paris.
