Afternoon in Paris is an album by American pianist and composer John Lewis and French singer Sacha Distel recorded for the Atlantic label. Allmusic reviewer, Alex Henderson stated: "the part-American, part-French group of improvisers provides an above-average bop album" - Wikipedia Faint praise as this an excellent bop Lp and I did not realise before hearing this what a great jazz guitarist Sacha Distel was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWiUF7HWOkM&list=RDCWiUF7HWOkM&start_radio=1 #JohnLewis #SachaDistel #Frenchjazz #jazz #Music #Bop

Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Vince Guaraldi Trio the debut studio album by American jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (credited to the Vince Guaraldi Trio), released in the US by Fantasy Records in September 1956. Billboard wrote a positive review, “Altho [sic] sales are unlikely to be spectacular, this is one of the pleasant surprises of the month. Guaraldi is a young San Francisco pianist who has been getting rave notices with the Woody Herman band. Evidence here says he’s a tasteful, authoritative and facile modernist, and that he swings. Further, he has a sense of humor. Guitarist Eddie Duran and bassist Dean Reilly are worthy colleagues. Try their version of John Lewis' 'Django' for a real delight.” - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXf-ymAYdHg&list=PL9reB0DlKm6vv-wriP8wGPmUrCRfL9jxZ&index=1 #VinceGuaraldi #CharlieBrown #Jazz #JazzPiano #EddieDuran #Music #JohnLewis #WoodyHerman #CalTjader #Django
