Tribute to Michel Legrand performed by the Giovanni Mirabassi New York Trio featuring vocalist Tatiana Eva-Marie.

Jazz trio and vocalist Tatiana Eva-Marie perform Michel Legrand compostions!

A warmly intimate take on the music of Michel Legrand — one that takes all the majesty of his famous compositions, and brings them down to the level of a jazz trio with vocalist — all with a sound that's really beautiful throughout!

Unlike other projects of this nature, Tatiana Eva-Marie sings the originals lyrics in French, not the later translations that showed up on the American market — a quality that really gives the record a special vibe — as does the work of Giovanni Mirabassi on piano, recorded here with surprising use of echo that really gives the whole album a very moody feel.

Other players include Alexander Claffy on bass and Joe Peri on drums - and titles include "Un Ete 42", "Chanson De Maxence", "Amour Amour Je T'Aime Tant", "La Valse Des Lilas", "Les Moulins De Mon Coeur", and "Watch What Happens" — plus Mirabassi's own "The Sound Of Love," a tribute to Legrand.
