Legrand Jazz

Michel Legrand

Jazz - Released December 12, 1958 | Universal Music Division Decca Records France

Hi-Res
Michel Legrand has spent most of his life as a composer in the studios and for films, but this release is a jazz classic. Legrand took 11 famous jazz compositions and arranged them for three different groups. Tenor great Ben Webster, flutist Herbie Mann, four trombonists, and a rhythm section perform pieces by Duke Ellington, Earl Hines, Django Reinhardt ("Nuages"), and the Count Basie-associated "Blue and Sentimental." A big band with trumpeters Art Farmer and Donald Byrd and altoist Phil Woods plays "Stompin' at the Savoy," "A Night in Tunisia," and Bix Beiderbecke's "In a Mist." The most famous session has Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Phil Woods, Herbie Mann, pianist Bill Evans, harp, vibes, baritone, and a rhythm section performing music by Thelonious Monk, John Lewis, Jelly Roll Morton ("Wild Man Blues"), and Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz." Throughout this superlative album, the arrangements are colorful and unusual, making one wish that Legrand had recorded more jazz albums through the years.© Scott Yanow /TiVo

Michel Petrucciani & NHØP

Michel Petrucciani

Jazz - Released January 5, 2009 | Dreyfus Jazz

Distinctions The Qobuz Ideal Discography
Both pianist Michel Petrucciani and bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen had considerable discographies and died far too young, Petrucciani in his mid-thirties and Pedersen at 58. Both men were virtuosos on their respective instruments, Petrucciani having played with a number of jazz greats in his all-too-brief career, while Pedersen began playing with visiting and expatriate Americans when only a teenager and especially made his mark in numerous recordings with the great Oscar Peterson. This performance at the Copenhagen Jazzhouse was unrehearsed and possibly the only time the two men played together, but their chemistry is immediate as they tackle a wide swath of standards and familiar jazz compositions. This is hardly a meeting where the bassist is merely accompanying the pianist; they engage in musical dialogues, frequently at a brisk tempo, and each interprets where the other is going in the performance, not an easy task for musicians not familiar with one another. Obvious highlights are the playful, tightrope-walking, and intricate take of Sonny Rollins' "Oleo," the spirited waltzing "Someday My Prince Will Come," the somewhat whimsical setting of "'Round Midnight," and the pulsing take of "Stella by Starlight" (a refreshing change from the typical straight ballad arrangement). It seems odd that this music remained unreleased for nearly 15 years after it was recorded, but this two-disc set is a perfect example of both musicians being very much at the top of their respective games.© Ken Dryden /TiVo

Michel-Richard de Lalande: Grands Motets, Dies irae, Miserere, Veni creator

Ensemble Correspondances

Sacred Vocal Music - Released February 4, 2022 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
By the end of Louis XIV’s reign (and after the death of Jean-Baptiste Lully), Michel-Richard de Lalande (or Delalande) was the King’s favourite musician. He represents both the climax and the end of the grand motet: a style of French musical composition developed to showcase the royals’ piety and absolute power with a bit of pomp and grandeur. It was performed daily at the Royal Chapel in Versailles. Composed over a short period of time, the three Grand Motets presented in this recording date from the composer's early years at Versailles, between 1684 and 1690. De Lalande gifted the world 77 motets which he continued to perfect throughout his career.The Dies Irae was quickly composed between the death and the funeral of the young dauphine of France, Maria Anna Christina of Bavaria (the sad and sickly mother of the future King Philip V of Spain). De Lalande later revised his work for use at other royal funerals. The great Miserere is one of the most imposing motets of the late 17th century; often performed before the king during the Easter period, it’s richly embellished and has great power of expression. The Veni Creator sets the Pentecost hymn to music (this hymn is played on Pentecost, as well as at New Year and Candlemas). This new recording was made in February 2021 in the beautiful concert hall within the Arsenal de Metz. Sébastien Daucé chose the version edited by Thomas Leconte which includes the restored intermediate parts of Dies Irae and Miserere, and a version of Veni Creator taken from the manuscript kept in the municipal library of Versailles. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Berg ∙ Brahms ∙ Poulenc ∙ Schumann: Sonatas for Clarinet and Piano

Michel Portal

Classical - Released March 1, 2024 | La Dolce Volta

Hi-Res Booklet
Clarinetist Michel Portal was born in 1935, and his performing partnership with pianist Michel Dalberto dates back to 1977. This little 2024 release, therefore, carries flavors of some older ways of music making, and as such, it is quite valuable. Portal knew Francis Poulenc, which is something that few enough performers around today can say they did, and whether for that reason or some other, the pair's performance of the Poulenc Clarinet Sonata of 1962 may be the best one here. The piece has an unusually strong jazz influence for one from so late in Poulenc's career. Portal, who had a background in jazz as well as classical music, catches both these rhythms and a certain retrospective mood to the whole. Elsewhere, the long association between the two performers shows in the subtle balances in the Brahms Clarinet Sonata No. 2, Op., 120, No. 2, a work that is all about finding the right weight for each little bit of music. There may be cleaner performances, but the listener will find much here that is absorbing. The early Four Pieces for clarinet and piano, Op. 5, of Berg, have the proper aphoristic quality, and in general, Portal and Dalberto switch gears effectively between some very diverse pieces, even if they present it as falling under the Romantic umbrella. The program is rounded out by pieces from Robert Schumann that were also played on other instruments, but most of this is echt clarinet music, and the program carries some beautiful flavors from the past.© James Manheim /TiVo

Jean-Michel Blais

Classical - Released May 11, 2018 | Arts & Crafts Productions Inc.

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Qobuzissime
A 31 year-old Canadian, Jean-Michel Blais is no stranger to the neoclassical stage. After a first album bearing the sober title "II", on Caroline Distribution, this offering consists of a new collection of tracks, (most of which have already been released separately over recent weeks) which are possessed of an irrepressible lyricism. On board his piano, which he has transformed into a magical music box, he travels with the winds, following the currents of his own insatiable creativity. In the middle, Blind, perhaps the most seductive track of these forty-five minutes (alongside sourdine…), immerses us in an ideal vision of a music which mixes acoustics and machines into a soothing and velvety whole. god(s) takes us somewhere else, to church perhaps: but the return of synths shows that Jean-Michel Blais might perhaps have different gods in mind. igloo could have been a spiritual, even pantheist, track, but Blais, who isn't above a little caustic wit, is quite urban about it: the "igloo" in question is a reference to contemporary cities, full of "caverns", where everything is stacked over everything else. Henceforth, Blais's name will be synonymous with unique sonic flavours. But there is something here of that bitter, fraternal, soft and sensual melancholy that runs through much of North American music, and which permeates the sonic spaces of a Copland (Quiet City) or a Bernard Herrmann (Les Neiges du Kilimandjaro) and the obstinate figures of a Steve Reich (The Four Sections) or the curling wisps of one of the most imaginative representatives of Canadian pop, like Patrick Watson ― think of the latter's Lighthouse where we find that same vision of the instrument, as if stripped of its hammers. Jean-Michel Blais takes his time, discreetly. Under his elegant veneer, he knows how to be tenacious: his quotations (from the entrancingly slow movement of Rachmaninov's Second Concerto, for example, on roses) make for salutary and soothing escapes. Blais is holding out his hand to you. It would be rude to turn him down. © Pierre-Yves Lascar/Qobuz
