The record
A teenage prodigy steeped in Django's shadow -- and family lineage -- Boulou Ferré announces himself here with a swinging, organ-and-vibes-dressed session that plays like mid-'60s Paris jazz at its most buoyant. Recorded in 1966 for 4 Corners Of The World, it's a snapshot of a young virtuoso already fluent in the Gypsy jazz tradition and eager to stretch beyond it.
