Louis Mazetier's last album on Arbors, "Tributes, portraits & other stories" is an absolute masterpiece. It features not only stride numbers (wonderful rendition of "Anitra's Dance", of Lion's "Sneakaway"...) but shows a wider range of piano playing. Mazetier has matured as a pianist and proves his taste on several ballads (wonderful high note punctuations, good use of space, sense of timing), but also as a composer (besides his classics "François" -rendition to the late François Rilhac- and "Tango Seville", he brings some interesting new compositions). Highly recommended!!!

Thanks! Here's yet another query. Could anybody provide release date (copyright/print date, not recording date) for the following issues?
