Bonjour Paris - Michel Legrand And His Orchestra

Bonjour Paris
Bonjour Paris
Michel Legrand And His Orchestra
Columbia CL 947
1957

From Billboard - February 9, 1957: The newest LeGrand set calls for special attention. It has all the earmarks-sensuous, tricky arrangements, unusual switches in lead instruments and over-all sound-quality – to send it off counter-wise with a bang. The 14 selections include some standards "Poor People Of Paris," "Two Loves Have I," "My Man," etc., but all are projected to live up to the theme – the essence of Paris. There's great deejay material here, too, and it shouldn't be missed.

Bonjour Paris
The Poor People Of Paris
Two Loves Have I
Hymn To Love
A Paris dans chaque faubourg
The Portuguese Washerwomen
French Can-Can
La Mer
The Left Bank
My Man
Parlez-moi d'amour
Le Guinche
Bonjour Paris
