The record
French pianist Bernard Peiffer brings a classically trained, harmonically restless touch to this trio-plus-guitar date, with Oscar Pettiford and Chuck Andrus splitting bass duties and Ed Thigpen keeping crisp time. A rare glimpse of a European stylist working comfortably within the American mainstream jazz idiom of the mid-'50s.
