Pianist Jean-Marc Montaut (Pink Turtle) shows brio in providing an offbeat tribute to film-music with these subtle versions of original soundtracks from films by Pedro Almodovar, Spike Lee, Jacques Demy and Bertrand Tavernier. His quartet takes us through a magnificent palette of styles in these great standards from composers whose lyricism and emotion — from Michel Legrand to Ennio Morricone and Vladimir Cosma — constitute a universe that is part of our universal. Augustin BONDOUX & Patrick FReMEAUX “Excellent arrangements, superb performance, and swing of course, especially in “Nous irons tous au paradis”. A disc that has everything… Bravo!” Claude BOLLING “Just a few words to congratulate you all and thank you for the pleasure you gave me in somehow “re-creating” my music with your sensitive, euphoric recording.” Vladimir COSMA
