100 Ans De Gatsby Le Magnifique

Scott Fitzgerald completes "The Great Gatsby" not in the United States, but on the French Riviera in 1924, perfuming his masterpiece with elegance and nostalgia, as the "Jazz Age," a term he had already coined two years earlier in another work, was just beginning. A century later, Australian singer Mélissa Lesnie, with her velvety voice and retro charm, immerses us in this world filled with echoes of ragtime and hot jazz standards from Tin Pan Alley, featuring the early successes of Gershwin and Irving Berlin. Alongside Jean-Baptiste Franc on piano, a true master of 1920s style, Mélissa revives this golden twilight through foxtrots, charlestons, and blues from the Roaring Twenties, a music that one can easily imagine setting the rhythm for the high society parties of a certain Jay Gatsby.
