Contents Introduction This year marks the 85th birthday of a leading figure in French film music. He has won three Academy Awards and five Grammy Awards. He has composed music for numerous films, including "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg," "The Young Girls of Rochefort," and "Summer of '42." He has also released many works as a jazz pianist. "Legrand Jazz," featuring Miles Davis and Bill Evans, is a historically significant album. From the 1960s to the 1970s, he recorded his own leader albums alongside his film music recordings, and toured the world in support of them. This time, we have selected some of the most popular works from those he recorded for Bell and RCA during that period, reintroducing his magnificent orchestral sound. This work is a self-cover album released in 1972, in which he re-edited his representative works and conducted an orchestra. It is a luxurious collection that can be called Legrand's best, starting with "Summer of '42." Blu-spec CD2 specifications. Media reviews and more.
