This is a 1970 leader album by the pianist Georges Arvanitas, who established his career by performing at renowned Parisian clubs like Tabou and Saint-Germain, thus becoming a central figure in the post-war French jazz scene. The album features recordings from a live performance in 1969 at The Centre Culturel Americai, where Arvanitas played with his trio consisting of Jacky Samson on bass and Charles Saudrais on drums. All tracks are original compositions, showcasing Arvanitas's elegant and versatile performance style as he absorbed American jazz influences while developing his own unique approach. His sense of style resonates with jazz musicians from Argentina like Horacio "Chivo" Borraro and Jorge Lopez Ruiz. This reissue, presented in a gatefold sleeve format likely released in 1990, maintains a commendable audio quality, making it a splendid reproduction of Arvanitas's exceptional performances.
