What a pleasure to meet up with this good compilation of masterpieces of Michel Legrand, the great artist so extensive range of talents: trained in classical music, he loves (he does not led the Fauré Requiem ? Satie and performed on piano), he soon rubbed his greatest jazz artists debut in the United States: Bill Evans, Ben Webster, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan !! Friend of the late Henry Mancini (The Pink Panther, but "not that"), he composed many superb soundtracks, sometimes interpreted songs by Sinatra, Barbara Streisand ...
It is therefore right that this great poet to whom we owe the delicate and moving text, romantic melodies as well as a furious swing, but perfect diction and ability to scat himself when he sings , was crowned countless Oscars, awards, etc. not to mention a well-earned cross of officer of the Legion of Honor for this extraordinary musician who carried high the colors of France in the United States.
Everything is nice in this excellent CD replay it with great joy and emotion.
