Superb double CD from Paris Jazz Corner. The concert was given to celebrate Sardaby's and Jazz Hot's 70th birthday, plus the 14th anniversary of the Paris Jazz Corner record shop!

The music is another occasion to celebrate. A really good live date!

Does Reggie Johnson live in Paris?

Bertrand.

I don't think so - when I saw him with Cedar Walton in 2004 it was told he lived in the states but had reduced his touring activities.

That double CD looks tempting .....
