Meeting Mr. Thomas by Rene Thomas, released on Barclay in 1963.

Marc Myers wrote for Jazz Wax:

"One of my favorite recordings by Thomas is Meeting Mister Thomas for the French Barclay label. On this album from 1963, Thomas led a quintet featuring saxophonist and flutist Jacques Pelzer, organist Lou Bennett, bassist Gilbert Rovere and drummer Charles Bellonzi. Thomas' sound in the early 1960s was ambitious, robust and modern, with enormous optimism built in. He employed a spirited technique that never gave hint that a pick was being used on the strings. Imagine a woodpecker hammering away on a rubber tree. Add Bennett's organ, and the group's sound was remarkably cool and distinctly European—swift but never frantic..."
