Happy birthday, Jacques Brel! On his 90th birthday, thirteen international artists, including Melody Gardot, Marianne Faithfull, Carly Bruni and Madeleine Peyroux, pay tribute to the great chansonnier. Four-time Grammy winner Larry Klein is the most successful international producer of singer-songwriters and adult pop stars with a jazz twist. He has a golden eye for strange subjects, as is now evidenced by his latest project "Brel - Ces Gens-Là", a modern tribute to Jacques Brel, legendary writer and singer of chanson evergreens such as "Ne me quitte pas", "Amsterdam" and many others. His songs have been set to music by stars such as David Bowie, Ray Charles, Joan Baez, Shirley Bassey and even Nirvana, Madonna and Blink 182. This refreshing and versatile tribute album features contributions from a host of luminaries, including Carla Bruni, Thomas Dutronc, Bernard Lavilliers, Slimane, Zaz and Malian hip-hopper Oxmo Puccino, Brit Marianne Faithfull and two Francophile Americans, Melody Gardot and Madeleine Peyroux, with whom Klein has already released solo albums.

Album spans genres Pop and Balad. Digipack.
