Yesterday When i Was Young

A beautiful and deeply felt tribute to the legendary French chanson , captures at the nadir of his fame and the zenith of his talent, eschewing glitz and glamour to create the most mature and focused album of his career. 's maudlin, theatrical approach fits like a glove, and with the invaluable assistance of arranger , he fully inhabits the songs' world-weary romanticism.

Formidable album with the best french jazzman: michel Petrucciani, Richard Galliano, Jacky terrasson,Eddy Louis, Pierre Drevet and the collaboration of Diane Reeves. The program is revisited Aznavour's song book in jazz form.
So here are in great versions "Yesterday ,When i was Young", " Mes Emmerdes", "Ce sacré piano", "J'aime París au mois de mai", "Me Voilà Seul", "She" and last but not least "Au creux de mon èpaule".

Ayant 50 ans de carrière à son actif, Charles Aznavour n'a plus à faire ses preuves et peut se permettre de livrer un album personnel. C'est précisément ce qu'il fait en 1998 avec ce Jazznavour, en adaptant à la sauce jazzy quelques-uns de ses succès avec l'aide d'André Manoukian (Liane Foly) à la réalisation, et la complicité de pointures du jazz (Dianne Reeves, Jacky Terrasson, Pierre Drevet, Michel Petrucciani, Eddy Louiss et Richard Galliano) au micro. On retrouve donc ici les succès des années 50 à 70 : "J'aime Paris au mois de mai", "For me, formidable", y compris ceux qui n'avaient rien de jazzy ("Mes emmerdes") et ceux qui étaient carrément psychés ("Les Plaisirs démodés") ou encore bluesy ("Tu t'laisses aller"). Le résultat est tout simplement grandiose. A noter, la chanson "She", succès britannique du petit Charles au début des années 70, utilisée en 1999 dans la BO de Coup de foudre à Notting Hill. –J.- P.

As part of a Universal Earbook series that was launched in 2006, Dusty Springfield's 2000 box set Simply Dusty was reissued in a new format. It still contained the four CDs and 98 tracks of the original set, but this time it was packaged within a nearly LP-sized hardback coffee table book.
