Salvador, Henri
Mes Inedits : Janvier-juin 1958 - Live In Paris
Daniel Filipacchi and Franck TEnot created the iconic programme "Pour ceux qui aiment le jazz" in 1955, and it went into radio's Hall of Fame as one of the most important music programmes in French radio. By 1958 jazz was all the rage with young people who packed into Left Bank cellarclubs, but the music was still unknown to mass audiences. So Daniel Filipacchi launched "Jazzons un peu", a warm-up programme that was aimed at promoting jazz on radio, and he asked Henri Salvador, one of the country's most popular artists, to join him in the new adventure. These recordings have never been released on record before now, and contain sketches, songs and truculent jazz or blues improvisations by Salvador, a wonderful musician and entertainer whose humour and sensitivity were timeless. Patrick FREMEAUXThe Live in Paris collection by Michel BrilliE allows listeners to hear previously-unreleased recordings (made at concerts and private- or radio-sessions) by the great 20th stars in jazz, rock & roll and song. These "live" takes, and the artists' rapport with their audiences, gives these performances an additional soul and sensibility in counterpoint to the rigorous demands of studio recordings. Particular care was taken when restoring the sound of these tapes in order to meet CD standards while preserving the original colours of the period. Patrick FREMEAUX & Gilles PETARD
