Tracks list

For this interesting if out of print LP, film producer Michel Legrand leads an
impressive big band through a 23-minute exploration of his Southern Routes (a
jazz suite based on the soundtrack of the film Les Routes de la Sud) and then
plays piano with a septet on four of his briefer compositions. The latter band
has solo work from trumpeter Jon Faddis, altoist Phil Woods and baritonist Gerry
Mulligan, all of whom are also featured on the longer piece. Although none of
the selections caught on, the colorful arrangements and the excellent solos make
this a worthwhile (if difficult to find) acquisition, Michel Legrands first jazz
recording in a decade. [DCC reissued the album in 1978.] ~ Scott Yanow
