More Info:

Ce coffret reunit deux concerts parisiens legendaires, enregistres en 1956 et 1961 qui capturent toute l'energie explosive et l'enthousiasme communicatif d'un "Lion" au sommet de sa gloire. Ces performances, detonantes temoignent de la generosite sans borne de l'un des plus formidables entertainers de l'histoire du jazz, capable de transformer un simple concert en un veritable show. L'auditeur est transporte par l'enthousiasme communicatif de Hampton et par la puissance du swing de son big band. Le jazz de danse au firmament. Patrick FReMEAUX La collection Live in Paris, dirigee par Michel Brillie, permet de retrouver des enregistrements inedits (concerts, sessions privees ou radiophoniques), des grandes vedettes du jazz, du rock & roll et de la chanson du XXe siecle. Ces prises de son live, et la relation avec le public, apportent un supplement d'ame et une sensibilite en contrepoint de la rigueur appliquee lors des enregistrements studios. Une importance singuliere a ete apportee à la restauration sonore des bandes, pour convenir aux standards CD tout en conservant la couleur d'epoque.Patrick FReMEAUX & Gilles PeTARDThis live album brings together two legendary Parisian concerts, recorded in 1956 and 1961, that capture all the explosive energy and contagious enthusiasm of a Lion» at the peak of his glory. These dynamite performances are a testament to the boundless generosity of one of the most formidable entertainers in jazz history, an artist capable of transforming a simple concert into a true show. The listener is carried away by Hampton's infectious enthusiasm and the powerful swing of his big band. It's dance jazz at it's zenith.Patrick FReMEAUXThe Live in Paris collection by Michel Brillie allows listeners to hear previously-unreleased recordings (made at concerts and private- or radio-sessions) by the great 20th stars in jazz, rock & roll and song. These "live" takes, and the artists' rapport with their audiences, gives these performances an additional soul and sensibility in counterpoint to the rigorous demands of studio recordings. Particular care was taken when restoring the sound of these tapes in order to meet CD standards while preserving the original colours of the period. Patrick FReMEAUX & Gilles PeTARD
