Lying between classical music and jazz, InchcrossoverInch is a hybrid that went down in the history of 20th century music as a genre of it's own. Giving birth in turn to jazz fusion, the crossover genre culminated in the Seventies, notably with the of Claude Bolling's InchSuite for fluteInch with Jean-Pierre Rampal (FA443), a record that sold enough to guarantee it's 10-year stay in the charts of American magazine InchBillboardInch. This anthology prepared by Jean-Baptiste Mersiol takes us back to the experiments of crossover's greatest pioneers, namely Jacques Loussier, André Hodeir, André Prévin and Claude Bolling. Beginning in the late Fifties, they were the first to bridge the divide between Europe's written music and America's jazz improvisations. Album Tracks 1. Complainte De Mackie 2.

On October 6, 1927, the American public watched in amazement at the first world projection of a sound film, The Jazz Singer, a production composed of several sung scenes. A formula whose French production hastily seized, coupling popular tunes to the film narrative. The result was an artistic bond that gave birth to many masterpieces of the song and the big screen, coupled with a long tradition of singers-actors, including Baker, Chevalier, Trenet, Piaf, Montand, Bardot and many others, whose voices are inevitably associated with the rich hours of French cinema.

This anthology devoted to the riches of French advertising provides a refresher course filled with historic sketches and popular ditties, each more delightfully dated than the next. Beginning with the first ads of the talkies - which arrived with the first bulky radio sets - and continuing up to the Sixties, these went out over the air in France's glorious post-war years, when consumerism was all the rage, and also a little drink before dinner, as you can hear in Jean-Baptiste Mersiol's collection, a kind of audio postcard sent back from another age that seems exquisitely vintage today.
