The record
A late-'50s Paris summit pairing French trumpet stalwart Roger Guérin with Benny Golson, backed by a mixed Franco-American rhythm section split between Martial Solal and Bobby Timmons on piano. Columbia's transatlantic hard-bop snapshot, catching the era's cross-pollination between the Left Bank scene and touring American horn men.
