I have the same 45 plus one with the music from Shoot the Piano Player. Bought them in a record store in Greenwich Village in (I think) 1966.
I'm sure you'd enjoy the Nonesuch recording. It covers Delerue's music from a range of Truffaut films.

I don't have Shoot the Piano Player but I do have Le Mepris and Le Peau Douce-- bought them in 1965.  I once worked with Delerue and have regretted that I never asked him to autograph them.

What were your impressions of Delerue? In photographs he looks like he was a nice guy.

I was a bit intimidated by him because I admired him so much so I didn't have that much interaction with him.  Also he was very busy conducting an orchestra.  He seemed very nice. IIIRC I did tell him that I was a fan.

A very good hard bop session.

Yes, nice! Just listened.

There's some very good stuff nowadays from American/European international groups, this one teaming an American visitor with Spanish and Italian musicians.

A couple of years ago in Southport I saw Magnarelli and Dmitry Baevsky with an Anglo/French/Greek rhythm section! (Joe and Dmitry were great guys to talk with, by the way.)

A year later Southport followed up with a sextet of Brits Osian Roberts and the Fishwick brothers, plus NY-based Frank Basile, Jeb Patton and Mike Karn.

Southport has also had Eric Alexander and Jim Rotondi with Austrian Bernd Reiter and Slovenian Renato Chicco.

I would love to hear John Marshall with Dutch musicians. They sound great on record.

The dreadful Brexit will probably shut the door on all of this, though.

(I am allowed to be political in this thread, aren't I?)
