Pierre De Gaillande "Hommage à Georges Brassens"

" It took an American musician, a composer himself, able to integrate the harmonic and especially the rhythmic subtlety of Brassens’ very complex, apparently simple, yet supreme art. What was perhaps needed to overcome translation difficulties that some call insurmountable, was the will of a man of two cultures, Pierre de Gaillande. And to render the language of Brassens, what was perhaps needed was the American English that can so nicely handle complexities without losing itself in intellectualism."
