Instrumental versions of songs by Jacques Brel. The acoustic guitar of Francis Goya gets the sensitive support of the trio and the arrangements by Michel Herr.

These tracks have been reissued by Reader's Digest on several compilations :
- "Quand on a que l'amour" (Francis Goya)
- "Martinis at midnight" (1 track with Francis Goya)
- "Les plus belles chansons françaises" (same tracks, but different soloist on top : 2 tracks with Pietro Lacirignola, sax)
- "I wish You love : Pietro Lacirignola, his sax and orchestra" (2 tracks with Pietro Lacirignola, sax, replacing the guitar)

Most of these albums are available as downloads on the iTunes Store
- Later, Reader's Digest, the producer of the recordings, reissued some of these tracks, but instead of the guitar of Francis Goya, added singers (Jo Lemaire, Gilles Olivier...)
