Michel Legrand in Boston

The legendary French jazz composer and pianist performed at the Regatta Bar in Boston on April 6th. He played in this intimate setting with New York based bassist, Francois Moutin and drummer, Louis Nash. At age 79 he was an amazing virtuoso, improvising his own tunes like "I Will Wait for You," from the film, Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, in styles from tango to polka. He also sang "The Windmills of Your Mind" in French and played the famous "Summer Song" from the film, The Summer of '42.
