Recorded at Barclay Studio, Paris and Leo Clarens Studio, Boulogne (#10) on May 19 and 21, 1973.

Sy Oliver was a trumpeter, singer, and arranger for Jimmie Lunceford's band, and later, Tommy Dorsey. His most famous charts include "Organ Grinder's Swing", "T'ain't What You Do", "Ain't She Sweet", and "For Dancer's Only". In this 1973 session for Black and Blue he plays a wide variety of tempos and styles, all swing. Some vocals, some instrumentals. I like "Yes Indeed" (125 BPM) and the blues "Move" (121 BPM). I wish they had used a string bass instead of an electric bass, though.
