| | Jazz News: Juliette Greco - Le Temps D'Une Chanson - On Sunnyside Records |
 | | Greco's deep contralto rings with the kind of rich, rarely-heard, otherworldly timbre forged from a lifetime, of love, loss, and longing on par with Billie Holiday's Lady in Satin and Shirley Horn's Here's to Life, that recalls every tumultuous epoch of her extraordinary life, which included wartime occupation, romance and prison. |
 | | Greco reunited with her mother and sister at the end of the war, and briefly returned with them to southwestern France, before returning to Bohemian Paris, where she flourished in the milieu of intellectuals, poets and musicians like Jean-Paul Sartre, Boris Vian, and Albert Camus, and became well-known for her dark looks and rebellious nature. |
 | | At the dawn of the 21st century, Juliette Greco stands as a solid, soulful survivor of an amazing age, and Le Temps de Chanson is her love letter to that bygone era. |
