Recorded on May 7, 1965 in the Parisian Studio de la Comédie des Champs-Elysées, this session for the small label "Societe Francaise de Production" is a masterpiece of saxophonist Nathan Davis, whose recording became a sought-after collector's item at the time. Reissued by the French label "Sam Records", the re-release now comes on the market more detailed and in great sound quality.
With Woody Shaw on trumpet, Jean-Louis Chautemps on baritone saxophone, Rene Urtreger on piano, Jimmy Woode on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums, the sextet plays a mixture of soul jazz and modal jazz. Enjoying the artistic freedom of '60s Paris, the musicians ran grooving to their best form.
Cut by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl by Optimal in Germany.
Facsimile reissue using the original photograph by Jean-Pierre Leloir. Double insert with original 1965 photo by Leloir.
