Michel Legrand

Description:

This is a gem of a trio work recorded by Michel Legrand, a master of film music who was also active as a jazz pianist, in his younger days. The trio plays Paris-themed numbers such as "It's a Rose-Colored Life," with an esprit that is both sophisticated and stylish. The song "My Beloved Paris," which showcases the laconic style of Art Tatum, who says he was influenced by the Parisian music, is also a must-see. ＜Michel Legrand (p), Guy Pedersen (b), Gus Wilds (ds) ★Recorded October 20, 21, 23, and November 9, 1959 at Blanqui Studios, Paris (Universal)
