Davis flew to Paris at the end of November for this concert at the Olympia, followed
by some shows at the Salle Gaveau and a three-week residency at the Club St. Germain.
During this time Davis and the Urtreger Trio also played at the Concertegebouw in
Amsterdam (December 8) and the
Théâre Patria in Brussels (December 20). The final concert at the
Club St.
Germaine was apparently on December 20. While in Paris Davis agreed to collaborate
with Louis Malle on the soundtrack for a new film, and the quintet gathered in Le
Poste Parisien Studio on December 4. They also
appeared in Jean-Christophe Averty's Au Claire de la Lune, filmed in Buttes
Chaumont Studio on December 7. For more details
about the circumstances of Davis's time in Paris, see an interview with Jeanne
de Mirbeck, René Urtreger's sister and Davis's companion during his 1956
European tour (Jazz Magazine, December 2007, pp. 20-21).
This music was originally broadcast on AFRS's One Night Stand, but I don't
know the date of the broadcast. The versions issued on Carlyne and RLR are about
a semitone sharp, and the times above are from a pitch-corrected version. Thanks
to Bruno Leicht for help with this session.
