Review
Acclaimed French chanteuse Juliette Greco s first album in three years features the creme de la creme of American jazz artists, including orchestral arrangements provided by Gil Goldstein. Moreover, Greco's husband, Gerard Jouannest, performs on piano while also scoring the piano arrangements. Throughout this endeavor she conveys lush sentiment and endearment within the context of each song (chanson). Comprised of works by luminaries Jacques Brel, Leo Ferre and others, Greco embodies the aura of French music rooted in Parisian love etudes, spiced with wistful accordion motifs and Goldstein's eloquent arrangements.
The late, great tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker alternates choruses with Greco during the heartwarming piece titled Ne Quelque Part. At times the music sparks remembrances of classic French cabaret, featuring movements constructed upon regal horns and a festive musical environs. Tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano provides a late-night, bluesy backdrop during Syracuse. Then on Un Jour Tu Verras, Wallace Roney's muted trumpet voicings parallel Greco's whispery vocalizations.
Flirtatious flutes engender a 1960s vibe, fitted with a modern uplift on the tune made famous by Dean Martin and The McGuire Sisters, Volare. Greco sings Over the Rainbow, in English via a seductive and dramatic interpretation, teeming with expressionistic attributes. In sum, it s a wonderfully attractive program that literally touches the heart and stimulates the soul. Greco s latest outing intimates that art in its various forms proclaims the lexis of our humanity.

Product Description
Juliette Greco came to be one of the stars of the bohemian "in" crowd of post-war France. She dressed in all black and let her long black hair hang free, creating an Ophelia-like look of having just drowned. A famous description of Juliette Greco is that her voice "encompasses millions of poems." She was the muse of many of the writers and artists working in Saint-Germain-des-Pres, such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Boris Vian. Some of these artists would write songs for her to sing. She fell in love with and almost married Miles Davis when he visited Paris in 1949.
Greco, still the most elegant of brunettes at 79, has chosen to pay tribute to the legendary names of French music, covering time-honored classics by the likes of Jacques Brel, Serge Gainsbourg and Charles Trenet as well as more recent material and two international standards, Volare and Over The Rainbow.
