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.

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…
