About the Artist
In 1985, Gail Johnson strapped her portable keyboard on her back and left Philadelphia, heading West to audition for Morris Day of the Time. Johnson got the gig and found a home in L.A. As time went on, she got more gigs: with Jermaine Jackson, Bobby Womack, Ray Parker Jr., Vesta, Pink, Bobby Lyle; surely too many to mention. She has been on stage with many great recording artists in R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Gospel & Theatre.

Gail Denise Johnson began playing piano at the age of 10, had her 1st gig by 14, received a B.A. in composition from the Berklee College of Music. She has written two books so far, FUNK KEYBOARDS & DICTIONARY OF KEYBOARD GROOVES.

She presently splits her time between her staff position at Musician's Institute/Hollywood, CA, and her music director position with Norman Brown/Warner Brothers Records and Rain Pryor (Fried Chicken & Latkas).

She makes time to accompany the youth choir & conduct the youth band at her local church, while director for the Sanctuary Choir. Gail's hobbies include: making jewelry, collecting rare rocks & cooking!

A Beautiful Re-Creation of Over-Exposed Legrand Material.......2006-02-10

Michel Legrand is one the biggest artists of music entertainment, a sensitive composer and arranger.

Here you'll find a correct selection of Legrand's material with unnecessarily new arrangements though with an impeccable performance.

Many of the songs in the repertoire are still available in CDs you can find here @Amazon and the best Legrand is the original Legrand.

This album stands only for those who doesn't care about original takes and wishes just for a selection of the best Legrand.

"one of the greatest film composers of the 20th Century ~ Michel Legrand".......2005-10-26

Silva Screen has released a collection that will set you on your ear "The Essential Michel Legrand Film Music Collection"...Legrand's score sets the tone and mood you experience a sense of power and freedom, so exhilarating...Legrand's genius in composition and orchestration, puts the listener smack dab in the middle of each film he scores as it serves up a generous helping of heaven for all "film-score-buff" collectors

Michel Legrand was born in Paris on February 24th, 1932...attended the Paris Conservatory Progressing...worked in various jazz bands, later a staff arranger and composer...an orchestrator in the '50s...scored films in the early '60s with "THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG" (1964)..."THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR" (1968)..."THE GO-BETWEEN" (1970)..."SUMMER OF '42" (1971)..."THE THREE MUSKETEERS" (1973)...and three Oscars from the Academy Awards for "THE WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND" for best music and original song in 1969 , "SUMMER OF '42" for best original song and original dramatic score in 1972... "YENTL for best music and original song score in 1984...then in 2003 nominated for Broadway's Tony Awards for Best Original Music Score for the Musical "Amour", there's no letting up for this hard working composer.

The Flemish Radio Orchestra featuring conductor composer Michel Legrand on piano and harpsichord, Philippe Chayeb on bass, Thierry Chauvet on drums and Bruno Caviglia on guitar...all in all did a magnificent job in bringing the music of a composer who wrote for a multitude of films, receiving recognition from the industry and fans which is long over-due ~ his work is in constant demand.

This collection contains an overlay of each cue in Legrand's distinctive style of legendary scoring ~ the man who made this possible, a tremendous asset to every project he undertakes is Reynold da Silva [executive producer of the album] ~ symphonic suites with full orchestra fullfilling the "film-score-buffs" cravings for more of the same, just the way we like 'em!

Amazon.com

If the American pop culture profile of French composer-jazz pianist Michel Legrand doesn't seem what it once was, don't be misled: his European indie film scores continue six decades on, now numbering nearly 200. But Legrand's most beloved work remains the lovely, evocative themes he created in the '60s and '70s, including "I Will Wait for You" from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Thomas Crown Affair's "Windmills of Your Mind," the theme from Summer of '42, and his work on Barbra Streisand's Yentl. This collection marks Legrand's first solo piano recordings, presenting those and other film score highlights in spontaneously improvised performances that offer a glimpse of Legrand's musical soul. If, as in "Windmills," his enthusiasm gets the best of him and he occasionally lapses into flights of melodramatic pianistic self-parody, there are more than enough sublime moments here to compensate, especially on lesser-known songs like Best Friends' "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" from The Happy Ending, and Brian's Song's "Hands of Time." --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Michel Legrand.......2007-03-12

This is a great CD! Sound is awesome. I highly recommend it.

Sunlight on his fingertips.......2005-08-10

Sunlight on his fingertips

The very bright talent of Michele Legrand you can feel especially when Maestro is playing piano himself.

I heard some orchestra performance of Legrand before, that was good, but I was still thinking about him just like about pop music composer.

Now I think different - he is Genius!

all the stars you've got.......2005-01-29

Bill Evans once said that technique in jazz "is the ability to translate your ideas into sound through your instrument." If that's the case, Legrand possesses technique in spades.

Before commenting on this rewarding disc, a few words about Legrand himself:

Is there a better songwriter or a more versatile all-around musican alive today? I think you have to go back to people like Gershwin and Billy Strayhorn to find a rough parallel to Legrand's multifaceted, genre-crossing genius. A pupil of Nadia Boulanger (who studied with Faure and taught many important American composers, including Aaron Copland and Philip Glass), Legrand is an heir of the great French tradition of music--but one who has chosen to express himself through popular songs, film scores, and jazz. He possesses that rare combination of an absolutely rigorous theoretical knowledge of music and an intuitive, spontaneous instinct for both melody and improvisation. He combines exquisite refinement with a popular touch, a need to communicate directly with all who love music. To me, his work represents the most perfect expression of such typically French traits as lightness, insouciance, wit, melodic charm, and direct emotional expression since Poulenc.

Here you'll find many of Legrand's signature songs--"I Will Wait for You," "The Windmills of Your Mind," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?," "The Hands of Time," "You Must Believe in Spring," etc.--reharmonized and enriched in stunningly beautiful solo recreations. Those unfamiliar with Legrand's pianistic abilities will probably be surprised by what they hear, for he's no part-time piano tickler. He can easily hold his own in the company of the best modern jazz pianists. He has a wonderfully refined touch that is incapable of making a harsh sound and a profusive sense of fantasy that keeps you constantly guessing as to where the music will go next. Yet you always feel satisfied when you find out, because Legrand possesses a composer's comprehension of harmony and form. And his own style is in no way compromised by an occasional nod here and there toward Bill Evans, Erroll Garner, Rachmaninoff, and so on. (Please: disregard the Amazon reviewer's remark about "flights of melodramatic pianistic self-parody." It's called a stride chorus, and it's just one example of Legrand's surprising way of recasting these songs--and of his encyclopedic command of jazz styles.)

This disc represents the essence of Legrand. It really should have been recorded a long time ago, but the fact that it has captured his undiminished abilities as he enters his twilight years lends it an added poignance--a sense of "just in time!"--that makes it all the sweeter. If you're already a Legrand fan, it should be a self-recommending treasure, and if you're a fan of great piano playing or of sophisticated jazz treatments of great songs, odds are you'll find this a very rewarding disc indeed. For me, the highlight is this version of "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" in which every note seems inevitable--not at all an easy thing to make happen in an improvisation.

Miles Davis once said of a Duke Ellington recording, "Give that one all the stars you've got." That's the way I feel about this disc, and I thought that phrase "all the stars you've got" was appropriate because it almost sounds like the title of a Legrand song.

Maestro Legrand , at last !.......2004-10-10

Legrand has recorded at last one of his more intimate renditions to himself with his most remarkable themes along his brilliant career .
From a summer of 42 , The windmills of your mind (The Thomas crown afair) , what are you doing the rest of your life or the romantic Umbrellas of Cherbourg ; all those unforgettable themes are played in this album for piano solo in the real intimacy between him and the listener .
Legrand is the golden master of soundtracks in France and one of the top in the world . He owns that inner vision to catch the spirit of every movie he accompains . He composes music as he was a real director movie . The psychological concerns , the romantic efluvies and the precise and lyrical atmosphere , with that touch of class, artistic elegance and sublime eloquency .
Think also in the important recordings with Miles Davis . That issue will give you the size of that artist and anothe point to remark . In 1954 , Legrand made a golden jewel : I lvoe Paris (See my review) that has become through the years in the most famous and the best album of instrumental music ever recorded .
What other background do you need to acquire this gem ?

For Jazz piano purest... Only!.......2002-09-07

I love the music of Michele Legrand! It is a rich mixture of
graceful tones and notes, that create memories of a certain
time and place in each of our own lives.
When accompaned with great orchestration Its wonderful. When done in a jazz piano style, its not as good. Not to take anyting away from the talents of Mr Legrand as a pianist. Its just that like hearing a lusher, grander version of his music. So if you like jazz piano music, and Michele Legrand.
Then this is the cd for you!

It's not just Susannah McCorkle's smoky sensuality that grabs a listener. It's her wit and literacy, her jazz sensibilities and constant inventiveness in interpreting America's great popular songs. All those strengths stood out on this 1985 LP, issued here on CD for the first time. She created flawless tension and atmosphere on "While the City Sleeps" from the musical Golden Boy. By slowing "There's No Business Like Show Business" to a more contemplative tempo, she gained the space to plumb the underlying--and seldom explored--melancholy of Irving Berlin's lyrics. Similarly, she confers a level of majesty and humanity on Jim Webb's country-pop standard "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" that Glen Campbell's 1967 hit version can't match. Defining a song on both its terms and her own is one of her consistent strengths, be it "Where or When" or Dave Frishberg's sarcastic, satirical "Blizzard of Lies." "Outra Vez" reveals the mastery of Brazilian song she later explored in greater depth. Indeed, the entire album reveals McCorkle's talents fully formed, a harbinger of the excellence that followed. --Rich Kienzle

Customer Reviews:

Susannah McCorkle, "How Do You Keep The Music Playing".......2006-02-24

Exquisite Jazz Voacalization! That is for starters. She is so reminisicent of the great female vocalist of late 1950s and early 1960s. Her phrasing leaves nothing to be desired and the instrumentalist backing her singing are very adept and easy on the ear. Put all this together on a Bose or any other fine sound system and you are in for a wonderful musical experience. Best dollars spent in a long long time and I know as I am 74 years of age.

The first Susannah album I bought.......2003-04-08

I bought this originally because I wanted her cover of Glen Campbell's hit By the time I get to Phoenix, which is quite different to the original. I enjoy both versions in their different ways. Two Irving Berlin classics, There's no business like show business and Cheek to cheek, are also given new interpretations by Susannah.

There are other classic songs from the Great American Songbook here too. They don't all get re-interpreted - Susannah's version of A fine romance is more or less standard, but maybe she realised that there was no way to improve on the original arrangement.

It took a while for this album to grow on me, because Susannah has a style all her own, but I eventually realised just how talented she was and bought all her original albums. Susannah is not the kind of singer to sell in huge quantities, but she carved her own niche and her music has given me enormous pleasure.

The music will play on.......2001-10-02

Due to her tragic death, Susannah's music was stilled but has not stopped. Through her CDs, she manages to keep the music playing for us.

Susannah's interpretations of songs continue to impress me. The highlight on this one is "There's No Business Like Show Business". But it is a far cry from the Ethel Merman version. Whereas that one was a celebration and joy of show business, Susannah's version is a sad, depressing rendition which shows the pain and heartbreak of show business, such as which she might have experienced.

Susannah also shows her ability to give a new read to "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", and gives it a more winsome spin than does Glenn Campbell. The title track "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" is a question that we might have asked Susannah. Perhaps she is talking directly to us. The CD also has the usual effort from Dave Frishberg, "Blizzard of Lies". "Ain't Safe to Go Nowhere" is a something we are all thinking today and Susannah's smokey lyric almost sees into the future.

Of course, Susannah was a whiz at handling all types of material and she proved it on this CD. Even though she is no longer with us, the wonderful music keeps playing.

Sweet and charming.......2001-08-04

Susannah made this CD in 1985, when her voice was sweet and charming, before the sadness crept in. She's been gone now for almost three months, and in that time I hadn't played this recording. It's really hard to "rate" the performance of someone who eventually took her own life, but this really IS a pretty, almost delicate album. "Ain't Safe To Go Nowhere" is my favorite cut, Susannah's vocal good-natured without a touch of sarcasm. This CD also includes "Outra Vez", an Antonio Carlos Jobim song sung as only Susannah could, and George Gershwin's "Slap That Bass". I'm giving this CD 5-stars for Susannah's sincerity and because, she cannot be duplicated.

A timeless romantic music CD........2006-11-05

It's shameful that this near-perfect set of classic standards as sung by one of the all-time greatest and finest male vocalists did not get the recognition it so naturally deserved. By itself, Mathis' nothing-short-of-mesmerizing version of "The Summer Knows" should have been a major hit but...it wasn't. This is music that's guaranteed to set the mood and tone for a romantic candlelight dinner or just for reminiscing and remembering an old love from days gone by, Timeless.

Johnny Sings Like No One Else.......2006-07-30

Here is another wonderful album by the greatest singer since Nat King Cole. Legrand, the Bergmans, and Mathis have collaborated on an album of beautiful songs--half of which I had never heard before. I was pleasantly surprised. The songs are dreamy, mellow, sung in Johnny's incomparable style. Of course, he is the master balladeer, whose enunciation and phrasing are always perfect. Even if someone else has recorded a song, Johnny always sings it his way. The orchestration and arrangements of each song are perfect and unique. Johnny creates a mood of intimacy and sensuality as if he is just singing to you alone. I have always heard the song, How Do You Keep The Music Playing, with an orchestra accompaniment. It was uniquely different and beautiful to hear it with just piano accompaniment. This album should be in the collection of anyone who is a Mathis fan.

Johnny Keeps The Music Playing.......2005-11-23

I have never been disapointed in anything this man has done. Like I have said before, if you do not have this then you are missing out on another great CD. He begins and ends with the song "How Do You Keep The Music Playing" Just beautiful music!

Musician of the Highest Order.......2001-01-10

Johnny Mathis has been a family tradition all of my life. I grew up in a home that played his music, and we went to his concerts from the time of my childhood through today. His music was something that was shared in my family, because we had an appreciation of great musical song stylists, and there are no others who can exceed in the quality of their emotion, phraseology, and presentation the way that Johnny can!

This CD has some of his finest songs, including "How Can You Keep the Music Playing", which we had the pleasure of hearing in concert even before he recorded it. Michel LeGrand and Marilyn and Alan Bergman know how to create wonderful music, and Johnny's interpretation brings out the best of their songs. You will thoroughly enjoy this recording!

All I Hoped It Would Be.......2000-01-16

I purchased this CD with the intent of acquiring a collection of movie themes written by Michel LeGrand that were not abstract jazz (which is apparently the composers prefered style). I grew up with Johnny - my mother adored him and when I saw he had a current collection of LeGrand themes I thought "what the heck, I'll try it". I was very impressed that Johnny was still able to "do it for me" after all these years. If you like Johnny Mathis you will enjoy this CD a great deal. In addition to Johnny's voice the arrangements are gorgeous. I can't tell you how many CD's I've purchased trying to find a recording of LeGrand music that was straight forward - elegant - and recognizable.

An enjoyable collaboration.......2004-08-02

This warm set of contemporary blues finds Lil' Ed Williams and Dave Weld, both of whom learned to master the slide guitar from Williams' uncle J.B. Hutto, splitting the lead vocals and the flashy solos about equally, alternating between acoustic and electric numbers.

"Keep On Walkin'" opens with one of the best songs in this 59-minute set, the laid-back blues shuffle "North Carolina Bound", and it is obvious that Williams and Weld are not only strong soloists, they are also quite adept at backing each other.

And the material is quite strong as well. The 1944 pop ballad "Too Late Baby" is a hideous monstrosity, swamped by an overblown string arrangement and completely out of place on this otherwise fine, rootsy CD, but most of what is here is very good. Lil' Ed Williams is the man behind the best song of the lot, the swinging acoustic "I'm Not A Slave", and the soulful slowie "Confess Diane", the swaggering "So Long, So Long", and the exuberant "Set My Sight On You" are also among the highlights. A few songs don't really hold up too well, but there should be enough good stuff here to keep you interested.

Lil' Ed and Dave Weld are backed by an excellent band, drummer Jeff Taylor, bassist Bernard Reed, and top-notch pianist Jasper Buchanan, and this CD is a nice listen for contemporary blues fans who likes a rock n' roll twist in their blues.
3 3/4 stars. Recommended.

Great Chicago blues by two of the best on slide guitars........1999-05-12

This cd is one of my favorites with these two musicians. Playing great blues, and with real feelings. Having heard many small blues bands, these are the guys I will follow anytime I can get to where they are playing. We need more from them on cd's.
