  • Michel Legrand was only 22 when he created this best-selling album, utilizing fifteen Paris-themed melodies. The songs are engagingly woven together such that one blends into the next, sort of a sonic 'lap dissolve'. Thus each side comprises a suite, easily listenable as a whole. Released in 1954, this album went on to sell over 8 million copies. It was one of the monthly offerings of the early Columbia Record Club--(that's how I got my first copy, long since worn out).

    Side 1 Tracks:
    I Love Paris
    Mademoiselle De Paris
    Paris
    ***{Autumn Leaves--Removed, 2018 for copyright reasons,
    resulting in silence from 06:52-10:20}***
    Under The Bridges Of Paris
    La Seine
    Paris In The Spring
    Paris Canaille
    Straight from the 1954 vinyl, in all its monaural glory.
    (Note: please pardon the low level 'bumps' over the first 28 seconds or so--a localized warp in the record is the culprit).

    My Mam played this to me when I was about 4 years old (1966). It didn't do much for me at the time but I love it now. BTW, for years I thought the guy on the cover was Michel Legrand.

    Michel was making honor to his name Legrand, one of the greatest musicians in the world, Grand, great, grande. I got this record when it came for sale, none other grande like him.

    Que bella música, los arreglos de estas interpretaciones son muy buenos
    Los mejores recuerdos vienen a mi como si ayer los hubiera escuchado y vivido
    Me recuerdan a mis padres, era época de escuchar radio, discos y ver tv cuando en verdad esta valía la pena, casi toda la familia se reunía y degustar esos momentos
    Es Inolvidable!!

    I was an American jazz, blues musician and I found this music on an LP when I was just starting in the "business.' I am now a "classical" music musician. I once played a "society" function where M. le Grand performed and WAS IGNORED! I am an American musician. I am not "French" and I find this music to be (I can't find the word) it reaches into my heart and soul.

      No doubt you owned lots of great vacuum tube equipment and giant speakers. My dad was bitten by the hi-fi bug in the late '50s, and so, growing up in the '60s-70s I had the benefit of hearing all of this "beautiful music" as well as big bands and jazz via Dynaco tube separates and big JBL D-130's.

    No sabía de lo que me estaba perdiendo, a Michel Legrand solo lo conocía por el tema : The Summer Knows, (Summer of 42) para mi uno de los temas musicales mejor logrados en cuanto a música de películas, así también la bella I Will Wait For you ( Los Paraguas de Cherburgo). Pero escuchar estas hermosas melodías inspiradas en Paris, definitivamente hacen que reafirme mi gusto por la música de este gran maestro, ya quedó como uno de mis favoritos. Gracias por regalarnos tan buena música: UnclaimedFR8.

      Cesar Ferreyros (Trans.: I didn't know what I was missing, Michel Legrand only known by the subject: The Summer Knows, (Summer of 42) for me one of the best achieved musical themes in film music, thus also the beautiful I Will Wait For you (the umbrellas of Cherbourg). But listen to these beautiful melodies inspired by Paris, definitely make it to reaffirm my taste for the music of this great master, and remained as one of my favorites.Thank you for giving us such good music: UnclaimedFR8.)

    Michel Legrand fusionó las mejores melodías de Francia con el Jazz y logró realizar excelentes arreglos en los cuales lucirse él mismo en el piano y permitir a sus cofrades otro tanto, en flautas, acordeones,violines, trombones y cellos. El producto resultante es una maravilla para los oídos refinados y nos transporta a su universo dulce, armónico, querido y lleno de imágenes amables de las diversas estaciones de las calles y boulevards de París !
