Soundtrack albums are generally music-minus-one affairs, the "one" being the film. The music for soundtracks is meant to accentuate the visual story but, taken by itself, it usually sounds very incomplete. This LP, only recommended to completists, mostly features Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in December 1958, playing short themes and sketches that were used in the French film Des Femmes Disparaissent. In addition, there are five longer segments from Les Tricheurs with such all-stars as Stan Getz, Roy Eldridge, Coleman Hawkins, Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie, and Mezz Mezzrow, but once again these performances sound sketchy when standing by themselves without the film.

This compilation in the Verve Jazz in Paris reissue series gathers three separate recording sessions originally issued on various French EP discs. The first four tracks were recorded for the movie Les Tricheurs, with Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, and Gus Johnson backing various horn soloists. The title track is a blues, composed on the spot, featuring Stan Getz and Roy Eldridge; the trumpeter easily wins the solo battle as Getz is a bit sloppy with several reed squeaks during his chance. Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, and Eldridge each are individually featured performing originals with the rhythm section, with Gillespie taking top honors for his driving bop tune "Mic's Jump"…
