LP version. Wewantsounds presents the sought-after soundtrack for cult 1980 French film
Clara Et Les Chics Types
, featuring
Isabelle Adjani
,
Daniel Auteuil
, and the
Splendid
troupe actors. The jazz-funk soundtrack, composed by
Michel Jonasz
and featuring
Manu Katché
and
Sylvin Marc
, has never been reissued since 1980. Remastered from the original master tapes, the release includes two never-released bonus tracks and a four-page booklet with liner notes by French music expert and musician
Guido Minisky
(also a member of
Acid Arab
) who interviewed Michel Jonasz and actor
Christophe Bourseiller
for the occasion. A gifted singer songwriter, Jonasz had had a few hits in the '70s and had also teamed up with
Gabriel Yared
to write a couple of albums for
Francoise Hardy
,
Musique Saoule
(1978) and
Gin Tonic
(1979). This was the background that saw the film
Clara Et Les Chics Types
come together. The brainchild of famed screenwriter
Jean-Loup Dabadie
who had risen to fame screenwriting smash hits for directors
Claude Sautet
and
Yves Robert
in the '70s, the bittersweet comedy followed a group of friends who have an amateur group dealing with the vicissitudes of everyday life at the dawn of the '80s. For the soundtrack, Michel Jonasz was hired and gathered some of the best session musicians including drummer Manu Katché (in one of his first sessions) and bassist Sylvin Marc (who had recorded a couple of albums for
Jef Gilson
's Palm label in the early '70s). Together they weaved a mainly instrumental blend of jazz funk, reggae, and pop which matched the narrative perfectly. Although all the ingredients were there for a success, the film unfortunately stalled and so did the soundtrack. Jonasz went on to become a huge star in France shortly after, but strangely, the
Clara
soundtrack was never reissued, not even on CD. Teaming up with the artist and Warner Music France, Wewantsounds has dug out the original master tapes to reissue the album including two bonus tracks. The audio has been remastered by Colorsound in Paris.
