I wonder whether anyone on the FediVerse knows what obscure #magic ritual can be performed with a box of #teeth, income tax forms from 2003, and a Sacha Distel album.

Because the relative has all three.

The income tax forms box was not labelled. I think that this was a safety precaution against any old random person rocking up and accidentally raising some ancient Mesopotamian god.

The plan is to consign the income tax forms to the flames, and keep the world safe.

The boxes of teeth are Holy Medical Relics and Must Be Kept For Future Archaeologists, apparently.

I did not dare ask about #SachaDistel after learning that.

Afternoon in Paris is an album by American pianist and composer John Lewis and French singer Sacha Distel recorded for the Atlantic label.

Allmusic reviewer, Alex Henderson stated: "the part-American, part-French group of improvisers provides an above-average bop album" - Wikipedia

Faint praise as this an excellent bop Lp and I did not realise before hearing this what a great jazz guitarist Sacha Distel was.

Confusingly this was reissued in 1956 as Volume 1 and then again in 2001 as such.

John Lewis & Sacha Distel - Afternoon in Paris

MJQ - Bags + Distel (Guitar) & Wilen (Sax), basically, playing a fun group of tunes. A little weird to have most of MJQ playing Bags' Groove without the titular vibes player, but it works anyway.

Pristine Sam Records repress in the original style. Pallas did a great job…
