Donald Byrd & Bobby Jaspar - Paris 58 / Sam Records

The studio session that Donald Byrd and Bobby Jaspar recorded for the French radio program "Jazz aux Champs-Elysées" was made during Byrd's stay in Europe for several months in 1958. During this time,

the modern jazz trumpeter led a top-class quintet with which he performed at festivals in various countries; among others, at the Paris jazz club "Au Chat Qui Pêche" in the Rue de la Huchette. The club quickly

became a regular venue for the musicians and brought them contacts with French radio, which invited them to sessions in November and December.

The previously unreleased recording is limited to 4000 copies.  Atmospheric, groovy jazz that invites you to enjoy!

Musicians: Donald Byrd (tp), Bobby Jaspar (sax-flute), Walter Davis / Jack Diéval (p), Doug Watkins / Jacques Hess (b), Art Taylor / Daniel Humair (dm)

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
