Recorded in London in September 1979 with Jean Paul Florens on guitar, Henri Florens on piano, Jim Richardson on bass and Tony Mann on drums, this album contains the only studio version of Round' Midnight by Chet Baker. It also includes 2 alternative versions of My Funny Valentine, entirely instrumental and very intimate. The version of 'All Blues' (Miles Davis) is sung by Rachel Gould. Hardly available since 1979, the new version, mastered by MB Mastering, has been restored to optimum quality, thanks to lacquers engraved in France and a high-quality pressing that gives listeners a sound never before revealed.
