Info for Ca Se Traverse Et C'Est Beau

Juliette Gréco’s new album, Ça se traverse et c’est beau, celebrates the bridges of Paris in the company of a stunning guest list including Marc Lavoine, Melody Gardot, Philippe Sollers and Amélie Nothomb. The result is a profound and striking concept-album.

There must be a traditional side to Juliette Gréco after all, since her new album bears the prestigious Deutsche Grammophone label, reserved for “great music” by its mother company Universal. Yet Ça se traverse et c’est beau could hardly be described as a conventional offering. The credits alone bear the marks of some daring, eclectic choices: Marc Lavoine, Philippe Sollers, Amélie Nothomb, François Morel, Melody Gardot, Féfé, Marie Nimier, Jean-Claude Carrière, Christian Escoudé, Gil Goldstein, Gérard Duguet-Grasser, Alexandra Roos and, for a song available only on the album’s digital version, Abd Al Malik. Not just figures from jazz and chanson, but well-known writers and unclassifiable personalities, some of them Gréco cronies, others newcomers to her world, and as always, Gérard Jouannest.

Juliette Gréco was born on February 7, 1927 in Montpellier, France. She grew up in Bordeaux. In 1933, her family moved to Paris & Juliette became a dancer at Paris' Opéra. After World War II, she became a muse in 2 Parisian quarters, Saint-Germain-Des-Prés & Latin Quarter.

Juliette recorded her first song in 1949, famous writers & poets wrote lyrics for her, far from popular music. Her first album came out in 1951, she flew to Brazil & the United States, where she was successful in the show "April In Paris". Back to France, she recorded songs written by Serge Gainsbourg & went on tour. In 1965, Juliette played in the TV series "Belphégor". However, her musical career declined in the 70's but she continued tours everywhere in the world. In 1982, she released her autobiography & an album, then went on tour in France again. In 1984, French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius decorated Juliette "Chevalier De La Légion D'Honneur". In the 90's, she released 2 albums & continued her international tour. In 1999, French Culture Minister Catherine Trautmann decorated her "Officier De L'Ordre National Du Mérite". Juliette came back to music with Aimez-Vous Les Uns Les Autres Ou Bien Disparaissez in 2003 & her cover album Le Temps D'Une Chanson in 2006.
