Julie London

Résumé

une biographie de Julie London, écrite par Claude Carrière, illustrée par Marcelino Truong, accompagnée de 2 compact discs. On a d’elle l’image d’une beauté manifestement fatale, au point qu’on ne sait plus si on achetait ses disques pour la photo qui ornait leur pochette ou pour le contenu musical des chansons qu’elle y interprétait. On convient aujourd’hui que Julie London était aussi une vocaliste admirable, qui se contentait en fait de chanter le plus naturellement du monde le riche répertoire des grands auteurs américains. Elle savait simplement exploiter à merveille la séduction d’un timbre sensuel et légèrement voilé, et mettre « en place », sans effets inutiles, et avec une grande décontraction, les mots et les notes d’oeuvres définitivement sublimes et que le temps n’a pas plus altéré que le souvenir de sa troublante beauté. Parmi ces chansons, Cry Me A River, The Meaning Of The Blues, The Nearness Of You, Body And Soul, By Myself, Misty etc., quarante-huit plages pour entretenir la nostalgie et raviver le plaisir.
