A compilation of material by Boris Vian - a French writer, poet, singer, and musician - playing jazz on pocket trumpet. His most famous composition was "Le Déserteur", a pacifist song written during the Indochina War. His songs were recorded by many well-known artists, including Juliette Gréco, Nana Mouskouri, Yves Montand and Henri Salvador. Serge Gainsbourg said that seeing Boris Vian operform live inspired him to start songwriting. Boris Vian was at the height of his poularity in the ‘beatnik’ late 50’s through to the hip, existentialist Left Bank scene of the early 60’s, in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area of Paris.
