‘This isn’t modern jazz, or swing,or bop, or New Thing; this isLegrand jazz, its personality asclearly stamped as if he werethe main solo voice. Indeed,one realises from listening tothese tracks again that for theFrenchman, the orchestra was hisinstrument.’PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ’A flamboyant 33-rpm full ofinvention. The most beautifulstandards, from John Lewis”Django’ and Django Reinhardt’s’Nuages,’ to Bix Beiderbecke’s’In a Mist’ and Fats Waller’s’The Jitterbug Waltz,’ were alldelightfully reinvented by theseincredible musicians.’ Jazz Magazine. *****DOWNBEAT: ‘The roster is impressive, covering most of the modern greats andnear-greats. The Miles sides are superb. The writing is imaginative,tinged with the languid air of Gil Evans at his most soulful, and yet withsomething more.’ (Dom Cerulli).
