Jean Bertola
Jean Bertola was a renowned French pianist, composer, and arranger, born on June 5, 1922, in La Roche-sur-Foron, Haute-Savoie. With a career spanning several decades, Bertola became a celebrated figure in the world of French music, working with numerous talented artists and contributing to countless musical projects. He began his musical journey working in a Lyon radio putting music to texts sent by listeners and later arranged songs for a young Charles Aznavour in the beginning of his career. In 1957, his work was recognized with a disc prize from Charles-Cros Academy. Over the following years, Jean Bertola quit his artistic projects to become the artistic director for the Polydor label. During this time, he also began collaborating frequently with singer-songwriter Charles Brassens, singing backing vocals in some of his releases from the 1970s and serving as artistic secretary. Dernières Chansons, his studio debut, was released in 1982 and featured lyrics and music by Brassens himself. A second album titled Le Patrimoine de Brassens followed in 1985. He passed away on September 9, 1989, at the age of 67.
