Michel Legrand简介

米切尔·莱格兰德靠为电影写作而成名致富，但他偶尔也会在爵士乐领域做出重要贡献。 1968年，他录制了一套严格意义上的爵士三重奏，勒格朗曾为史坦·盖兹(1971年)、萨拉·沃恩(1972年)和菲尔·伍兹领导的专辑写过曲子。他的几首歌曲(如《你余生在做什么》、《看会发生什么》、《夏天知道什么》)已经被爵士乐手录制了很多次。

Michel Legrand has made his fame and fortune from writing for films, but he has done significant work in jazz on an occasional basis. In 1957, he arranged a set of Dixieland and swing standards for a French orchestra (recorded on Philips), in 1958 he used three different all-star groups for the classic Legrand Jazz (with such sidemen as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Phil Woods, Herbie Mann, Bill Evans, Ben Webster, Art Farmer, and others), in 1968 he recorded a strictly jazz set with a trio and Legrand has written for albums led by Stan Getz (1971), Sarah Vaughan (1972), and on several occasions, Phil Woods. Several of his songs (such as "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life," "Watch What Happens," and "The Summer Knows") have been recorded many times by jazz musicians.
