Liste des articles de presse consacrés à ce CD :
- « La très belle Léna » par Jazz Classique Ouf ! De la cuisse, des femmes, enfin ! Certaines, envoûtantes, propres à damner les saints hommes qui peuplaient le monde du jazz d’alors (oui, mes petits chéris, vous pouvez verser votre larme, cette époque ne reviendra pas !), ainsi Lena Horne – seule survivante de ce casting inouï – oui, la très belle Léna, « Tigresse » - liane, dont tous les musiciens étaient fous ! Souvenez-vous : ses apparitions dans stormy Weather ou encore Cabin In The Sky, dans le rôle de Georgia Brown, Marie-Madeleine vénéneuse des studios MGM… (Nous aurions alors tout renié, dites seulement le contraire, bandes d’hypocrites !). Vrai, Blanche-Neige, où donc est passée la sorcière de nos enfances apeurées, mais toutefois fascinées par cette Reine du mal et prête à se soumettre ? Oui, quand donc recroquerons-nous la pomme (en lange jazzy, Big Apple) ? Question. JAZZ CLASSIQUE
