*** Résumé en anglais seulement ***Daniel Filipacchi and Franck Ténot created the iconic program “Pour ceux qui aiment le jazz” in 1955, and it went into radio’s Hall of Fame as one of the most important music programs in French radio. By 1958 jazz was all the rage with young people who packed into Left Bank cellar clubs, but the music was still unknown to mass audiences. So Daniel Filipacchi launched “Jazzons un peu”, a warm-up program 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 humor and sensitivity were timeless. The Live in Paris collection by Michel Brillié allows listeners to hear previously-unreleased recordings (made at concerts and private- or radio-sessions) by the great 20th century 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 modern standards while preserving the original colors of the period.
