Claire Elzi�re, the greatest ambassador for songs that belong to France's national heritage, here sings a vibrant tribute to Juliette Greco with a set of emblematic titles by the songstress they called "The Muse of Saint-Germain-des-Pr�s". Produced by Dominique Cravic (of the Ukul�l� Club de Paris, Les Primitifs du Futur etc.) and Gr�gory Veux (T�tes de Chien, Pierre Louki...), and by Kenichi Takahashi for the Respect Record label in Tokyo, this album stands out in it's magnificent approach to the great 'songbook' that Greco rendered sublime throughout her career. There is an astounding precision in Claire Elzi�re's tone and the subtlety of the music's arrangements: both Greco and this recording from Elzi�re are unforgettable.
