Michel Legrand - I Love Paris (Remastered) '1954; 2019

Tracks list

Michel Legrand was only 22 when he created this best-selling theme album, a
selection of Paris-centered standards from both sides of the Atlantic, scored
for his own slightly jazzy orchestral ensemble. Its probably one of the few easy
listening records (or any album until much later) where the work was meant to be
listened to as a whole: Legrand blends 16 songs together into a sort of suite,
beginning with church bells chiming in the square, then taking off on a musical
journey around the city. The arrangements are heavy on the strings and accordion
and not, as the label now touts, Miles Davis, who is not very discernible -- if
there at all. (Davis certainly took part later in Legrand Jazz). Considering
that the young Legrand cut this album as a quick way to make money, the
resulting success (and the doors that it opened for him) are remarkable.
