Backed by a full band, including chanteuse Charlotte Savary, French DJ/producer Wax Tailor (aka Jean-Christophe Le Saoût) brings his laid-back brand of down-tempo funk and English soul-infused trip hop to southern California this weekend as he winds up a three-week U.S. tour. His first two records drew high marks and comparisons to trip-hop stalwarts such as DJ Shadow, RJD2 and Portishead, while the single from his third album “In the Mood for Life” (Le Plan Music), “Say Yes,” featuring members of the British hip-hop collective A State of Mind, proves he’s keeping the down-tempo flame alive. The single is also available as a combo CD-vinyl disc (both formats, one platter) packaged exclusively with the album for Border’s retailers.
