The record

A mid-'50s Paris summit pairing British tenor Don Rendell with Bobby Jaspar's kindred horn, Sacha Distel's guitar, and the unusual color of David Amram's french horn. Swing Records captures a rare cross-Channel meeting, loose and conversational, from the era when touring modernists traded ideas in French studios.
