I was @ Birdland ce soir celebrating Michel Legrand's 75th birthday. Indeed this is his 75th year, but one couldn't tell by all the joi de vivre emulating fr the stage as he played, jammed and spoke. I don't have a song list, but he played the theme fr "Umbrellas" in @ least 6 different musical styles. Also heard "What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life", "Windmills of Your Mind" (in French), Summer of 42.

No "Amour" tho, even tho I did my best to encourage it. Maybe in the 2d set...
