John Lewis

Hi Aaronb,

Here is the John Lewis solo piano album "Afternoon In Paris".

It was recorded at Studio des Champs-Elysees, Paris on November 29th 1979.
Engineered by J.-P. Pelissier. Produced by Alain Boucanus for Dreyfus Records.

Unfortunately, I'm a greenhorn at uploading full albums and could do with some advice on how to combine all 9 tracks into one file, so until I'm able to do this I hope you don't mind downloading each track individually.

The album itself is very good but doesn't come close to the magnificence of "The John Lewis Piano". Still, as he left us so few examples of his piano work, I guess we must be satisfied with what we can get. Also, the LP was a bit of a swizz playing-time wise because there's barely half an hour of music on it.

I hope you enjoy it.
