This is a celebration to one of my favourite

composers, the great French composer,

piano player and conductor Michel Legrand.

On this album I have chosen to interpret some of

my favourite songs, arranged by Swedish piano

player and arranger Martin Sjostedt.

Michel Legrand has always been a great inspiration for

me and I have long dreamed of doing a project where

I get to interpret his music in my own unique way.

His music and the combination of the beautiful lyrics

written by Alan & Marilyn Bergman stand

for what I mainly want to convey to my audience;

romance, dynamism, melancholy but also blues

and swing.

My special guests on this album are the Danish

harmonica player Mathias Heise and the Swedish

trumpet player Peter Asplund who is also the

composer and arranger of the original song and

LE GRAND MICHEL. Title track of this album

A very special thank you to my musical partner,

arranger and producer of this album, Martin Sjostedt,

who always supports and challenges me musically in

the most fun and generous way. /Vivian Buczek
