Wonderful photography taken at the Blue Note in Paris, after the Dizzy Gillespie concert at Salle Pleyel on February 19, 1953. From left to right, Charles Delaunay, Dizzy Gillespie, Nicole Barclay, Don Byas, Gérard Pochonnet, Sarah Vaughan, Hubert Fol, and rear view, Lorraine Gillespie and D. Forest.
Track B6 ’April in Paris’ is credited on release to Davis, probably for arrangement by [a338494] but it’s the popular song composed by Vernon Duke with lyrics by E. Y. Harburg.
