Legrand meets Miles Davis - and the French New Wave.
Michel Legrand is best known for creating the soundtracks for over 200 films, including The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Thomas Crown Affair and The Go-Between. But he had an insatiable creative spirit that led him into the world of theatre, ballet, opera and more.
Today, Donald follows Legrand on a whirlwind tour of the US, under the tutelage of Maurice Chevalier. He meets a likeminded jazzer in Miles Davis - and when he returns to France, the new wave is waiting for him.
Donald Macleod is joined by Michel Legrand's collaborator, theatre director and composer Jeremy Sams.
