It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Michel Legrand energies, virtually a rebirth. On Summer of 42 album, Michel Legrand have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Michel Legrand was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Michel Legrand and Summer of 42 together. This album is in perfect progression from Michel Legrand!
Michel Legrand offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. The Bacchanal is the more seemingly obscure song on Summer of 42 that bear up best to repeated listening. Lonely Two make listening to Michel Legrand like being in some sort of time warp. The Dancer on Summer of 42 is solid and easy to listen to. Montage: But Not Picasso - Full Awakening is such a perfect and optimistic song that things can get just better. The song feels complete. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: The Summer Knows (End Title Theme from Summer of ‘42) The Picasso Suite, which shows, blatantly, how much Michel Legrand has evolved as a singer. The Entrance To Reality is simply astounding. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Summer of 42. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Awakening Awarness is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. It took me a little time but I ended up loving And All The Time.
