Already by 1948, Guy Lafitte (1927 - 1998) was becoming one of the most promising musicians of French jazz. He was the saxophonist most often chosen by many American musicians who toured Europe, including Mezz Mezzrow during 1951–1952. However, it took a little longer for him to capture the favor of the general public. His moment of discovery arrived in the spring of 1954 when, after recording as a leader, l’Académie Du Jazz awarded him the “Prix Django Reinhardt” as the best French soloist.

In the recordings of this CD, we listen to Lafitte leading and soloing in his commanding swinging and melodic style, backed by a series of orchestras that stand out not only for the delightful and invigorating performances, but also for the arresting contributions of all of the band soloists. There is a great deal of variety on every one of these tracks, and the orchestras does perfectly what was called for in each case, thanks to the effective arrangements provided by the talented André Persiany, Claude Bolling and Martial Solal.
