THE DESERTER
1965, PHILIPS
Rediscovered on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of his birth in 2020, Boris Vian, a complex and multi-talented artist, is here contained in all his stunning writing. Both violently committed, social commentator, salacious author, alcoholic depressive, it is an unalterable collection of cruelly realistic poetry, frantic jazz, clever arrangements by André Popp on an orchestral reinterpretation of "La Java des bombes atomiques," and "La Java martienne." We also encounter Philippe Clay for "Le Temps de vivre," an epic song. This mastery of ideas, inspiration, and the way to put them into sound (jazz is his true passion) is one of the peaks too often overlooked in the history of French song. If an anniversary is needed to verify its contemporary acuity, then happy hundred years Mr. Vian.
