Comme Au Bal No 5 by Jo Courtin Et Son Orchestre is an album that transports the listener to a bygone era of French music. The album features a collection of traditional French songs that are beautifully arranged and performed by the talented musicians of the orchestra.

The album opens with "Comme Au Bal No 5," a lively tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The instrumentation is lively and energetic, with the accordion and clarinet taking center stage. The album also features several romantic ballads, such as "La Valse Des Lilas" and "Que Reste-t-il De Nos Amours," which are performed with a delicate touch and heartfelt emotion.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La Java Bleue," a classic French song that has been covered by many artists over the years. Jo Courtin Et Son Orchestre's rendition of the song is excellent, with the accordion and clarinet weaving together to create a beautiful melody.
