Cat Anderson in Paris

This beautifully-captured 1963 performance showcases some of the contemporary jazz cats whose influence extends further than their fame. Recorded by Jean-Christophe Averty at the ORTF Studio in Paris, Cat Anderson (trumpet), Johnny Griffin (saxophone), Kenny Drew (piano), Gilbert Rovère (double bass) and Larry Ritchie (drums) represented Blue Note, weaving expert 'modern' jazz into compositions that had been around for a long time: ""On Green Dolphin Street" and "St. Louis Blues."
