humour, gravité et liberté. Entremêlant présent et passé, il réveille des souvenirs enfouis, des images intimes : l'enfance, la guerre, le Conservatoire, la révolution du be-bop, les débuts chez Philips, la Nouvelle Vague, Hollywood. Au détour du récit, des invités surgissent : Maurice Chevalier, Jacques Brel, Bill Evans, Jacques Demy, Louis Aragon, Françoise Sagan, Steve McQueen, Natalie Dessay...
