The record
A French pianist finds sturdy American footing here, with Gene Taylor and Louis Hayes -- fresh out of Horace Silver's rhythm section -- laying down blues-soaked swing behind him. Recorded in 1959, it's a lean, unpretentious trio date that plays like a transatlantic handshake between Paris and hard bop.
