The record
A French film composer stacks a New York all-star bench -- Miles Davis, Bill Evans, and Donald Byrd among the players not credited above -- to recast standards and jazz staples through his own lush, cinematic arranging hand. Columbia's 1958 session where European charts and American swing meet on equal footing.
