Description
The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl.
One of the most tastefully elegant pianists, John Lewis rose to the top of the jazz world as the guiding force behind the legendary Modern Jazz Quartet. This release includes Lewis' complete Paris, December 1956 all-star quintet sessions with French guitarist and singer Sacha Distel (no vocals here though), tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen, bassists Percy Heath and Pierre Michelot, and drummers Kenny Clarke and Connie Kay. These were Distel's only recordings with John Lewis.
This special limited edition includes two bonus tracks ('D & E' and 'Little Girl Blue') featuring Lewis in a trio format with Percy Heath and Connie Kay, recorded in a New York studio on February 21, 1957.
