Details: Product Description At 83 years of age, Henry Salvador has not lost any of his youth and has nothing left to prove, yet this is one of his best efforts to date. His voice has not changed; it still has that velvety smooth delivery helped by subtle arrangements between jazz and down-tempo influences. Beautiful bossa nova songs from the man who crafted 'Syracuse' - a must for all ages!! Amazon.ca At 83, Henri Salvador makes an unexpected comeback that, wrongly, few people believed in anymore. He whom many remember for a few silly songs, such as "Minnie, petite souris" or "Le Travail c'est la santé," is also, and above all, one of the pioneers of bossa nova, an inspiration to Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Caetano Veloso, and one of the most delightful crooners around, right up there with Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. Some courageous friends gave him the chance for a well-deserved return to grace with a few tailor-made songs, such as these two tracks signed by Art Mengo, the tribute to Paul Misraki on "Je sais que tu sais," and the duet with Françoise Hardy. The production is top-notch, with arrangements that the brilliant Jacques Morelenbaum would not disown, served by some excellent musicians, including trumpeter Eric Le Lann and harmonicist Toots Thielemans. Bossa and jazz are right at home here, and with Chambre avec vue, Salvador signs one of his finest records, where he doesn't forget to take his bow, hobbling along... --Hervé Comte
