“Legrand is one of the most important creative musical forces of the last fifty years. Musical director for Maurice Chevalier, arranger to Edith Piaf sideman to Miles Davis, Stephane Grappelli, Ray Charles and many others...he left an impression on no less than Frank Sinatra, Oscar Peterson and Nina Simone, all of whom covered his music. He has composed more than 50 soundtracks, produced over a hundred albums, and collaborated with a member of symphony and philharmonic orchestras. In 1998 he was the toast of les FrancoFolies. Consider him a musical colossus. #ThisIsMyJam #MellowMonday #MichelLegrand #PhilWoods #Jazz”
