The same can be said about the other French players employed on ‘Afternoon in Paris’ — neither tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen nor bassist Pierre Michelot were huge names in the U.S., although both were well known in European jazz circles. With Lewis on piano, Distel on guitar, Wilen on tenor, Michelot or Percy Heath on bass, and Kenny Clarke or Connie Kay on drums, the part-American, part-French group of improvisers provides an above-average bop album that ranges from “Willow Weep for Me,” “All The Things You Are,” and “I Cover the Waterfront” to Milt Jackson’s “Bags’ Groove” and Lewis’ title song. The big-toned Wilen was only 19 when ‘Afternoon in Paris’ was recorded, but as his lyrical yet hard-swinging solos demonstrate, he matured quickly as a sax man. A mythic LP and one of the best recorded in France!!!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Lewis (Piano)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSacha Distel (Guitar)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBarney Wilen (Tenor Saxophone)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPierre Michelot (Bass) Tracks A1, A2 \u0026amp; A3 \/ Percy Heath (Bass) Tracks B1, B2 \u0026amp; B3.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nConnie Kay (Drums) Tracks A1, A2 \u0026amp; A3 \/ Kenny Clarke (Drums) Tracks B1, B2 \u0026amp; B3.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eI Cover The Waterfront (Johnny Green) 6’45\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eDear Old Stockholm (Trad) 6’01\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eAfternoon in Paris (John Lewis) 9’21\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eAll The Things You Are (Jerome kern – Oscar Hammerstein) 5’12\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eBags’ Groove (Milt Jackson) 6’08\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eWillow Weep For Me (Ann Ronnell) 9’33\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRe-mastered from a copy of the mono master tapes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut by Ray Staff at Air Mastering Studio in London.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e180 gr vinyl pressed in Marciac, France by Garcia \u0026amp; Co using the Metal Mothers from Pallas.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFacsimile reissue with flipback sleeve using the original photo by JC Bernath.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble insert using an original photo by JC Bernath from 1956.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eEach record has been visually checked to prevent defects.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 3700409814310\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Sam Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Apocalypse Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42861947420734,"sku":"5Q4WG4-2Z1B-00","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/7683\/files\/afternoon-in-paris_tAkCt.jpg?v=1780716427","url":"https:\/\/goldenapplecomics.com\/products\/afternoon-in-paris-vinyl","provider":"Golden Apple Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
