This French Columbia LP will be difficult to find but contains a variety of valuable music from postwar Paris. Guitarist
Django Reinhardt is heard jamming on four selections with an American sextet that also features trumpeter
Bernie Privin,
Peanuts Hucko on tenor and pianist
Mel Powell, Hucko (on clarinet) is featured on four other songs in a trio and
Powell gets a few unaccompanied piano solos including "Hommage a Fats Waller" and "Hommage a Debussy." High-quality late swing music that has not been reissued in recent times. ~ Scott Yanow
