The studio session that
Donald Byrd and
Bobby Jaspar recorded for the French radio-television program 'Jazz aux Champs-Elysées' was created during a stay of several months in Europe by Byrd in 1958. During this time, the modern jazz trumpeter led a top-class quintet with which he performed at festivals in various countries, including the Parisian 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 into contact with French radio, which invited them to sessions in November and December.
The previously unreleased recording is limited to 4000 copies. Atmospheric, grooving jazz that invites you to enjoy!
