Paris Jazz Corner

Walter Davis

"Live au Dreher"

1981 (réf. PJC-002).

A near-lost European session from pianist Walter Davis Jr recorded live in Paris at the start of the 80s.
In great trio formation with Kenny Clarke on drums and Pierre Michelot on bass! There's clearly a bop inspiration driving most of the tracks here, not just in the selection of the material, but also in the way the players come together crackling with intensity and spontaneity that reminds us a fair bit of some of Bud Powell's classic live dates in Paris 20 years before this one! As with some of the Powell recordings, there's a good deal of humanity in the grooves here.

Don Menza

"HORN OF PLENTY"

1987 (réf. D11G 72931).

Philippe Petit

"Ecoute"

1979 (réf. PJCP-222014-).

After the 2003 Febuary release, the duo with Barney Willem, Paris Jazz Corner Production continues the adventure with Philippe Petit.
This album was originally released in 1979 on the Musica Label (Under the name : 'For all the life you are in my heart).
This session, never published in CD, is not a 'guitarist' record strictly speaking, in this context each one plays his part at the perfection: the opportunism of Aldo Romano, luminous skill of Dominique Lemerle, remarkable improvisations of Michel Graillier who always transcend the melody lines.
Philippe Petit, as for him, the ardour and freshness from his play, but also by his leader's talents : he insufflates, suggests, animates and preaches the respect, because the strong idea of a group is equality.

The title ' the solitudes' was added in bonus to this session. It's a solo by Philippe Petit dedicated to the memory of these missing friends.

Philippe Petit & Barney Wilen

"Flashback"

1986 (réf. PJCP-222012-).

UNISSUED LIVE BY BARNEY WILEN AND PHILIPPE PETIT.
While waiting for 'La Note Bleue'... it is in July 1986, in Montpellier, France, that Barney Wilen, the legendary French saxophonist, and Philippe Petit, a virtuoso too seldom heard on the jazz scene, occurred for a concert in duet. Extremely rare experiment in jazz, this guitare/saxophone live recording proceeds in the wire of a collaboration which started between the two musicians since 1984. Essential.
