Michel Legrand Orchestra - You must believe in spring

another in the occasional series these movies you have not loved Why? you probably have never heard of them The movie demanding our attention today ~ Divorce American Style A mid 1960s effort directed by Bud Yorkin music by David Grusin and the good newsr fifty on this comedy satirel has not dated as composer arranger ~ amid woodwind harmonies .Legrand writes an arrangement ~~then a brief piano figure anticipating his strings ~ approx 2 mins 35 secs. The spontaneous effect is like strings responding "mirror image" to the piano . Courtesy of a luxuriant musicality, a catalogue of nonpareil romantic songs and film scores. Michel Legrand's achievement as song composer and finest living arranger orchestrator is without equal among contemporaries. Legrand's songs are occasionally informed by a contemporary pop sensibility -- Breezy -- On my way to you -- Something new in my life. Others are moodily substantial e.g. Between yesterday and tomorrow. There's the whimsical conceit of Maybe someone dreamed us enveloping a winsome melody. But these are just jottings on an illustrious six decade career that began as Sinatra was moving into top gear in the early 50's rubbing shoulders with greats of the music industry winning respect of his peers. Jazz saxophonist Stan Getz commented favourably on Legrand's completeness as musician. A favourite aspect of Legrand's artistry is his long-standing brilliance as a jazz pianist. I especially delight in his soloistic piano contributions to his orchestral albums, too many tracks to mention but Make Me Rainbows already up on YouTube is always worth a listen. His Cole Porter album 1957 with classically "sheened" finish runs the gamut in orchestral brilliance and for my money is streets ahead of any popular orchestral album from the era Legrands musical qualities among among other aspects ~ virtuosity are French in feel but the effect is universal. With a handful of finest mid 20th century musicians Legrands music transcends borders.
