Amazon.com: On ne présente plus ces deux-là : ils symbolisent chacun - et a fortiori ensemble ! - une sorte de quintessence du jazz dans ce qu'il a à la fois de plus authentique, de plus festif et de plus accessible à un large public. On croit tout savoir d'eux et pourtant, à chaque nouvelle écoute, la magie opère comme au premier jour. Que ces monstres sacrés aient tous deux figuré sur le label du producteur Norman Granz à la fin des années 50 et qu'il leur ait fait enregistrer ensemble les trois séances réunies ici est une bénédiction pour la musique du XXe siècle. Deux disques de standards avec une rythmique de grande classe et pour couronner le tout une magnifique version de "Porgy and Bess" avec un grand orchestre dirigé par Russell Garcia. Il n'y a ici rien à redire, rien à jeter, juste matière à jubiler durablement devant cet art suprême et bon enfant du swing et du chant qui envoûte les oreilles et fait croire en la beauté du monde. --Thierry Quénum > 2 Comments
