Albert Nicholas was the only New Orleans musician here - a great clarinetist who had played with King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong and Luis Russell, he had relocated to Europe by the middle 1950's and here is presented with a band of French players recording for Vogue and Club Francais.  Great trio sides (with Claude Bolling and Kansas Fields) and two bands including trumpeter Guy Lognon and trombonist Benny Vasseur.
