Michel Magne - Le Monde Instrumental de Michel Magne - Jazz Et - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This CD represents suburban life, '80s style, with lots of dwelling on relations with the opposite S*x, including InchMacDonald's GirlInch and the somewhat more risque InchNookie at the Drive-In.Inch

Michel LeGrand was one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. After showing great promise as a jazz arranger - working notably with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Bill Evans - he turned his hand to the French InchchansonInch genre and composed for Boris Vian and Henri Salvador, Jacques Brel or Maurice Chevalier. He then became probably the most famous composer of melodies for France's Nouvelle Vague filmmakers - Agnès Varda, Jacques Demy, Jean-Luc Godard -, but it was only the beginning, for he went on to be one of the most illustrious film composers in the world. This 10-album set contains his works during that first great period, devoted to all the music released under his name.

Maurice Jarre was an outstanding composer of French film music and his original soundtracks became a household word in films for the entire second half of the twentieth century. This selection of music from Olivier Julien looks back on Jarre's early period when he was the young music director of Jean Vilar's TNP in Paris. But he also put his name to his first hit in Hollywood. He wrote for Georges Franju, Jean Pierre Mocky and Gérard Oury among others in France, and came to international attention with his music for InchThe Longest Day.Inch It was a key period for the composer who went on to work with David Lean, Alfred Hitchcock, Luchino Visconti and Clint Eastwood among others.
