One of the tricks in utilizing a contemporary form like jazz in scoring a film is to avoid the idiom's passing fads and clichés, which have severely dated many lesser projects. Paris-born composer Michel Legrand was classically trained in Europe and worked as an arranger and film scorer there, but also had the good fortune to work with jazz greats such as John Coltrane and Miles Davis in America. This background helped elevate his "symphonic jazz" score to director Norman Jewison's romantic caper The Thomas Crown Affair beyond the excesses of much late '60s "contemporary" film music--with the exception of Noel Harrison's Rod McKuenesque rendering "The Windmills of Your Mind." Harrison may have gotten the Oscar for it, but Dusty Springfield made the song a classic. One minor fault:... Less

Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Darcy Proper.Long before he became the celebrated composer of the pop opera film THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG and songs like "The Windmills of Your Mind" (featured in both versions of THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR), Michel Legrand was just another jazz-addled young pianist/arranger making his way on the Paris scene. Except that none of the others came up with such a dazzling tour de force as I LOVE PARIS, recorded in 1954 and only available now in this Gold Disc version from Columbia.I LOVE PARIS is no corny accordion-led tourist...

Over a five-decade career he produced award-winning movie scores for MGM, including The Thomas Crown Affair, Yentl, and Summer of '42. But Michel Legrand's 3 Oscars, 5 Grammies, and more than 100 record albums, however, are far outnumbered by his fans--and his celebrity friends, who pay spirited musical tributes here to Legrand's genius in a unique concert.

Born in 1932, French composer Michel Legrand moved swiftly into film and television and attained celebrity by his early thirties with his Oscar-nominated work on Jacques Demy's THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG (1964). He staked career and reputation on a brilliant signature style commonly termed "haunting": heavy use of violins and low-key, ascetic orchestrations. The choices paid off: Legrand soon became a Hollywood fixture, and he scored everything from THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (1968) to Barbara Streisand's YENTL (1983). This musical tribute to the songwriter finds Legrand and a plethora of celebrities gathering at the MGM Grand's Garden Arena in Las Vegas for various interpretations of the Frenchman's tunes.

Millionaire businessman Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen) is also a high-stakes thief; his latest caper is an elaborate heist at a Boston bank. Why does he do it? For the same reason he flies gliders, bets on golf strokes, and races dune buggies: he needs the thrill to feel alive. Insurance investigator Vicky Anderson (Faye Dunaway) gets her own thrills by busting crooks, and she's got Crown in her cross hairs. Naturally, these two will get it on, because they have a lot in common: they're not people, they're walking clothes racks. (McQueen looks like he'd rather be in jeans than Crown's natty three-piece suits.) The Thomas Crown Affair is a catalog of '60s conventions, from its clipped editing style to its photographic trickery (the inventive Haskell Wexler behind the camera) to its mod... Less
