I do a fair amount of record shopping while traveling, and picked up this Buck Clayton (et sa trompette) at La Fin Du Vinyle in Montreal, on Mode Disques, which was a sub-label of Disques Vogue, a French label.

The liner notes are presented in French, English, and German. Personnel here include Jean-Claude Pelletier, Jean Bonal, Roland Lobligeois, and Kansas Fields. On the label it is presented as the Buck Clayton Quintet.

Clayton was a member of Count Basie’s orchestra, and played as part of Norman Granz’s Jass at the Philharmonic, with Coleman Hawkins and Charlie Parker.

These recordings come from November 1959 sessions in Paris and were originally released on Disques Pop (also a sublabel of Disques Vogue) in 1960.
