Jeanne Moreau

Tourbillon De Ma Vie Jeanne Moreau

An emblematic actress and a memorable figure of the French chanson scene, Jeanne Moreau passed away in 2017.

She started singing as an amateur in theatre like the Comedie Française, but always wanted "to sing ballads".

The man who wrote her first songs was her friend: the painter Cyrus Bassiak (pseudonym of Serge Rezvani) and like for many other artists Jacques Canetti was the one who brought her to a recording studio to record her first songs in 1963.

This album pays homage to Jeanne Moreau by compiling for the very first time all the songs written by Cyrus Bassiak, including 4 songs that were nowhere to be found until today.
