The father of "Little Naughty Nicholas", the idol of Taiwanese painter Jimmy, the royal painter of "The New Yorker", and the French national treasure cartoon master Sambé brings you a painting version of the music feast. Music lit up Sangbei's life, and the lightness of jazz was integrated into his brushstrokes. Sambei's indissoluble bond with music can be traced back to the radio at home in his childhood. Through the radio, he discovered the magical jazz and those extremely interesting jazz musicians. Even if his parents were quarreling, it didn't matter to him, because in his imaginary world, he became a member of a jazz band and traveled all over the country to perform. He used music to soothe his sensitive soul and escape from his unhappy childhood. Sambei eventually became a cartoonist, but music gave him countless inspirations. He talked about his favorite musicians, Debussy, Duke Ellington, Ravel... He recalled the first time he played Gershwin's "Lover", the first time he discovered that a magical record could hold "the whole orchestra", and the first time he invited Goscinny, the author of "Little Naughty Nicholas", to his home to listen to music. This book contains a large number of Sambei's unpublished works on musical themes, and is accompanied by a 30,000-word interview transcript. This book is Sambei's highest tribute to music.
