0224 Don Rendell et Bobby Jaspar [Recontre A Paris] FLAC 6(26.56)

















Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
A nice pairing of two tenor sax players with Don Rendell providing the excuse to post on BritJazz. Sacha Distel is on guitar in one of his few jazz outings before he achieved fame as a pop singer in the 1960s and the wonderfully named Mac Kak is the drummer.
The french horn is a clumsy instrument in the jazz field and Dave Amram seems to struggle with it in his solos. They can be safely forgotten.
The recording date, which is not shown on the sleeve, is 17 March 1955 in Paris. The vinyl from which this was taken was the Japanese re-issue of the lp.
Good opportunity to test out your French with the sleeve notes or for Japanese speakers I can provide the insert in that language.
FLAC with lp cover scans.

    I discovered that Mak Kak's real name is Baptiste Reilles.
    How disappointing.

    In 1955 that name would have sounded pretty exotic to me!
