On this album I have chosen to interpret some of my favourite songs, arranged by Swedish piano player and arranger Martin Sj\u00f6stedt. Michel Legrand has always been a great inspiration for me and I have long dreamed of doing a project where I get to interpret his music in my own unique way. His music and the combination of the beautiful lyrics written by Alan &amp; Marilyn Bergman stand for what I mainly want to convey to my audience; romance, dynamism, melancholy but also blues and swing.My special guests on this album are the Danish harmonica player Mathias Heise and the Swedish trumpet player Peter Asplund who is also the composer and arranger of the original song and LE GRAND MICHEL. title track of this albumA very special thank you to my musical partner, arranger and producer of this album, Martin Sj\u00f6stedt, who always supports and challenges me musically in the most fun and generous way&#8221;. \/Vivian Buczek<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathias Heise &#8211; harmonica<br>Peter Asplund &#8211; trumpet, flugelhorn<br>Martin Sj\u00f6stedt &#8211; piano, Fender Rhodes<br>Jesper Bodilsn &#8211; bass<br>Zoltan Cs\u00f6rsz &#8211; drums<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/martinsjostedt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1221609.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martinsjostedt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1221609.jpg 500w, https:\/\/martinsjostedt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1221609-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martinsjostedt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1221609-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#edbcd4\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Le Grand Michel\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1IxmIvtmS1JeRFb3NQQgPc?si=_xNzYc6RTbKipFY_VtY6zA&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/martinsjostedt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1221609-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martinsjostedt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1221609-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/martinsjostedt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1221609-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martinsjostedt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1221609-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LE GRAND MICHEL &#8221;This is a celebration to one of my favourite composers, the great French composer, piano player and conductor Michel Legrand.
