Yesterday, I posted on French singer-entertainer Henri Salvador and his career up until his semi-retirement at age 78 in 1995. Today, I'm posting about one of pop's most startling comebacks topped only by Tony Bennett's. This rebound also featured Salvador's passion for Brazil. First, let's look at his first visit to the South American country. On Christmas of 1941, bandleader Ray Ventura was in Rio de Janeiro with Salvador as his vocalist. Ventura and his band were preparing to leave ...

Henri Salvador was a French singer, musician and dancer whose talents were so exceptional and profound, we don't really have anyone of comparable status in the U.S. Salvador played guitar and trumpet, he sang beautifully and he was a star in virtually every music genre, including jazz, pop, chanson, cabaret, rock 'n' roll and bossa nova.

A deeply romantic player with a strong, husky tone reminiscent of Don Byas, Thompson was an experienced sight-reader, having played in Boyd Raeburn's band in 1945 and with George Handy in '46—both of whom featured challenging arrangements. ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Clamart is a French town about five miles southwest of Paris. Each year since 1949, a jazz festival has been held there. In June 1951, soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet was injured in a car accident on his way to the festival and was replaced by Don Byas. Also at the festival was French pianist Henri Renaud with his sextet. Fortunately for us, the festival's producer had invited the owner of Saturne Records. He dragged the group off to a studio ...
