The studio session, which Donald Byrd and Bobby Jaspar recorded for the French radio television program "Jazz aux Champs-Elysées", was created 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 Parisian jazz club "Au Chat Qui Pêche" in the Rue de la Huchette. The club quickly became a permanent meeting point for the musicians and brought them contacts with French radio, which invited them to the sessions in November and December. The previously unreleased recording is limited to 4000 copies. Atmospheric, groovy jazz that invites you to enjoy!
