A Man and a Woman is an album by American vibraphonist Johnny Lytle featuring jazz interpretations of Francis Lai's score for the 1966 French film A Man and a Woman recorded in 1967 and originally issued on the Solid State label.[1] [2] [3]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richie Unterberger stated "It's bourgeois to the core, for sure. But it's also archetypal of a certain media stereotype of European elegance, exuding a certain charm despite its overt sentimentality".
