Donald Byrd's stay in Paris in 1958 to study with composer Nadia Boulanger led to the formation of one of the greatest bands of his career with Bobby Jaspar on tenor saxophone and flute, Walter Davis, Jr. on piano, Doug Watkins on bass and Art Taylor on drums.Sam Records is proud to present this previously unreleased concert by the Donald Byrd / Bobby Jaspar Quintet, recorded during the evening dedicated to "Modern Jazz" at the first and only Cannes Jazz Festival on July 11, 1958. The initiative for this festival came from Yvonne Blanc, a lady of good society who played the piano and lived between Paris and Cannes.The festival was organized in partnership with the festival of Knokke-Le-Zoute in Belgium.
