PAUL PIOT &
SON ORCHESTRE
FRANCE, 1962, LP
305 V 035, série populaire, Ducretet-Thomson (MONO)
Hello everyone, it’s been a long time!
It took me longer than expected to be
ready to rip and post again, but here I am with a first “new” post.
If you’re into French Jazz or
Jazzy “Varietes” orchestras from the 60s - think of Jacques Denjean, Jean-Claude
Pelletier, Daniel Janin, Eddie Barclay, Eddie Vartan, Ivan Jullien, Claude
Cagnasso … - this is for you.
A fairly rare LP that I found
recently in a box with cheap easy listening records of limited interest, and that, to the best of my knowledge, has
never been posted on the web before and never made it to CD format.
The track list is a well-balanced
mix of standards and originals with a French touch, composed and arranged by “Bill Ivory” (an alias for Paul Piot),
Paul Piot is better known as an
arranger for many French singers and this album is – as far as I could find –
his only “Jazz” album. French Jazz
aficionados will recognize several names in the personnel, well-known and
respected jazz instrumentalists / soloists such as Guerin, Paquinet, Verstraete, the Hrasco brothers,
Alf Masselier ….):

I
hope you’ll enjoy it. I have a few more

shortly. As usual, comments are much appreciated.
N.B. Track 13 was corrupted in initial folder. I re-post the individual track 13 for those who have already downloaded the whole folder and I replace the folder by a new one with all the tracks.
