Sambe: A Drawing Musician: A Musical Feast by Comic Book Masters

Sambet is a French national treasure comic book master. His indissoluble relationship with music can be said from the radio in his childhood home, through which he discovered the magic of jazz and the most interesting jazz musicians. Even if his parents quarreled, he felt that it didn't matter, because in the world he imagined, he became a member of a jazz band, going north and south to perform everywhere. He used music to soothe his sensitive mind and get rid of the unhappy childhood.

Sambe later became a cartoonist, and music inspired him countless times. He reminisced about his beloved musicians, recalling the first time he played Gershwin's Lover, the first time he discovered that a magical record could hold "the whole band down", and the first time he invited Gossini, the author of "Little Naughty Nicholas," to his home to listen to songs. The book contains a large number of unpublished works on musical themes by Sambe, accompanied by a 30,000-word interview. This book is Sambe's highest tribute to music. (Renji)
