Jacques Loussier You Only Love Once Soundtrack LP
Better known outside France for his jazz inspired arrangements of the works of J.S. Bach, Jacques Loussier is a prolific composer and this soundtrack to a forgotten film (Tu Seras Terriblement Gentile – released as You Only Love Once) is indicative of the high quality of his work, and a soundtrack to the late sixties with it’s groovy pop/jazz and touches of James Bond, Lalo Schifrin and others. An Australian pressing on the London Label (SAHA 7778), the record is of excellent appearance and it plays and sounds superb with a minimum of surface noise. The cover laminate has rubbed with a ring and the back is a little grubby with a few creases.
“Unmistakably French in feel, style, and sound, Jacques Loussier & His Orchestra’s soundtrack to the movie You Only Love Once is a vibrant and eclectic slice of ’60s pop-jazz”.
The theme tune ‘Generique’ has a powerful big-band sound, with fluid drumming and organ solos, as Loussier’s classical background is made obvious by the spiralling and at times grandiose string arrangement. Although he composed a number of works for cinema and television, (Snow Job, Monique, La Vie a l’Envers), Loussier gained international recognition by successfully combining his interest in jazz with his love of Johann Sebastian Bach. While the mood is melancholic in ‘Promenade au Luxembourg,’ with its subtle bossa nova shadings, the tempo soon intensifies in ‘Sortie Metro,’ a quirky number with Arabic music influences. ‘Ballade Dans Paris’ would be the perfect theme to a cheesy French TV show, while ‘Clara’s Jerk’ sounds like Perrey & Kingsley sans moog. Also inspired by Lalo Schifrin and Francis Lai, this great soundtrack to an altogether forgotten movie invites you on a stylish aural trip of Paris and its many moods.”
