Donald Byrd & Bobby Jaspar "Paris 58" LP

• Sam Records Paris radio-session release

Donald Byrd and Bobby Jaspar recorded these French radio sessions during Byrd’s 1958 European stay. Their quintet had been performing at the Paris club Au Chat Qui Pêche before invitations to record for Jazz aux Champs-Élysées. The program includes “Splendid,” “Easy Living” and “Flute Bop,” returning the focus to Byrd’s trumpet and Jaspar’s reeds in a small-group setting.
