this release on polydor is rather unlike their usual stable and the marketing gives us fair warning that it has an edge. and that it does. jacques denjean comes from a jazz background, and this shines through on what is a sterling lp in the vein of peter gunn, jimmy smith, the man from u.n.c.l.e. and even a touch of surf rock. the tracks vary in feel, and there's even one ("le train fou") with heavy female groans for those inclined toward the b-grade soundtrack sound. two of the tracks ("la route" and "dans le vent") were written and selected as theme tunes for "the most popular radio programmes in france." :)
a rare and unique release, thanks to charl for lending this one to my turntable for a spin.

Thank you, my friend, from the Oregon countryside. I am delighted to find such a wealth of Johnny Gregory albums; he's one of my favorites, too. I appreciate your kindness and generosity. My only wish is that rapid share could be a bit faster than a 20 minute download, but I suppose the price is right.
All the best to you,
Iggymo
Many thanks to you -G
