Jean-Michel Bernard Plays Lalo Schifrin
Jean-Michel Bernard Plays Lalo Schifrin est avant tout une belle histoire d’amitié…
Le pianiste, chef d’orchestre, compositeur, arrangeur argentin Lalo Schifrin est connu, entre autres, pour ses musiques de film (Bullitt, Dirty Harry, Enter the Dragon…) et de séries (Mission: Impossible, Mannix, Starsky et Hutch…). Le pianiste et compositeur Jean-Michel Bernard a quant à lui accompagné Ray Charles en concert les trois dernières années de sa vie, et est notamment le compositeur attitré de la musique des films de Michel Gondry.
Ce projet d’album portant essentiellement sur les orchestrations des musiques de films composées par Lalo Schifrin est né de l’amitié qui unit les deux compositeurs et de la réussite d’un programme de concert monté par Jean-Michel en hommage à Lalo Schifrin au Festival de la Baule en 2017.
À noter la présence sur trois titres de Lalo Schifrin ainsi que celle de Kyle Eastwood sur, bien évidemment, la musique de Dirty Harry…

The legendary composer of Mission: Impossible participates in this tribute album entirely produced and performed by Jean-Michel Bernard and his musicians, himself a acclaimed composer and jazzman / pianist recognized throughout the world. This vinyl edition is exclusive to Wayô Records, after the CD version by Varese Sarabande in the USA.
Jean-Michel Bernard Plays Lalo Schifrin is above all a beautiful story of friendship...
The pianist, conductor, composer and Argentinian arranger Lalo Schifrin is known, among others, for his film music (Bullitt, Dirty Harry, Enter the Dragon…) and tv shows (Mission: Impossible, Mannix, Starsky and Hutch…). On the other side, pianist and composer Jean-Michel Bernard accompanied Ray Charles in concert for the last three years of his life, and is notably the usual composer for Michel Gondry's films.
This album, focusing on the orchestrations of film scores composed by Lalo Schifrin, was born from the friendship that unites the two composers and the success of a concert program put on by Jean-Michel in tribute to Lalo Schifrin at the La Baule Festival (France) in 2017.
With the presence, on three tracks, of Lalo Schifrin as well as Kyle Eastwood on, of course, the music of Dirty Harry…
