Michel Legrand - Legrand Jazz / 45RPM 2LP Impex Records

Michel Legrand has won countless awards for his film scores throughout his career. From the Oscar to the Golden Globe Award to the Grammy, he received virtually all the recognition the industry has to offer.

Early in his career, he produced an album for which he hired over 30 of the best jazz musicians of his time in 1958. Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Ben Webster, Phil Woods and just about every other

session musician from New York agreed to record with Legrand his idiosyncratic arrangements of standards like "Django," "Don' t Get Around Much Anymore" or "Night in Tunisia." In three different groups they

recorded "Legrand Jazz" in the Columbia studios, an absolutely unusual album.

Impex's audiophile reissue as a 180-gram 45 rpm double LP was mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman's studios.
