Rene Girad

Some good house tunes mixed and compiled by Rene Amesz And Ralvero

René Drouard de Bousset (1703-1760) is one of those French composers who, during their lifetimes, were the latest sensations but after brief flashes of popularity pretty much vanished from history. A student of Nicolas Bernier, he was employed primarily as an organist at a Parisian parish church and had a career ahead of him as a normal musician.

2007 compilation from the European Jazz guitarist. René Thomas died before he was able to realize his potential but he is now regarded as one of the world's finest Jazz guitarists, right up there with Barney Kessel and Wes Montgomery; even the great Django Reinhardt thought very highly of him. Features 22 performances with the Rene Thomas Modern Group, the Henri Renaud Sextet, Rene Thomas & His Orchestra and Rene Thomas & His Quintet….

Features 24 bit digital remastering. Comes with a description. An unusual global session for Atlantic Records – an album that has John Lewis presenting work by three other musicians that he feels are ripe for wider discovery! The set's got some killer work from Rene Utreger – a key Parisian player in the postwar years, working here with dexterity that's almost at a Bud Powell level! Dick Katz is also featured on the set – with some nice colors and tones in the mix, similar to some of the work he'd go onto do for Atlantic and other labels. And perhaps the least known here is the British player Derek Smith – stepping out with a lyrical style that's captured surprisingly well here – and which makes the record a key addition to Smith's catalog.
