RIP Michel Legrand

French composer and jazz pianist Michel Legrand died in Paris earlier today aged 86. A multi-Oscar winner for his film soundtracks and theme songs he was also an expert pianist frequently performing in this country and in America. His music was adapted by many jazz artists including Stan Getz and Miles Davis.
Sadly, I never heard him live.
Repose En Paix.
