Miles Davis & Michel Legrand “Dingo” (1991)
Legrand funny told about this work: One year prior to death Miles has called to me to Paris and has told – ” The Frog! “, (it always so named me) ” drag the ass in LA! We should write down music to film! “. It wrote music to the Australian film “Dingo” in which was removed. If Miles called – it is necessary not deliberating to sit down on the first flight up to LA! And so we have lead one, two, three days – it with the pipe and I for the piano. But instead of work we drank, many fur-trees much, communicated much and listened to music. At last I have told ” Miles, we should lead four days to studios, we are waited with an orchestra for record, and at us nothing is ready! “. It has told ” Yes all right, forget! Give still we shall be delayed! “.

Eventually I have told – ” At me idea. Remain here, I shall write all, I shall make preliminary record with an orchestra, and then we shall impose your party “. “Michel! You are a genius! ” . It was so lazy, that all of that it wished – to have a maximum of a free time at the order. I worked three days and three nights, and it has then come and has played as an angel. It has never played as I conceived – never. It even began with such notes about which I and could not dream. In it was its genius. My God, as I loved it! It is interesting, that I have written down my first jazz album with it, and with it we have written down its last album.
