Alex, you're absolutely correct on that "Pike's Peak" album. Rok and I concurred that those other albums were real nice, just not outstanding. When you mentioned French and Belgium, that reminded me of Hercule Periot, the famous detective, who was always having to correct people that he was Belgium, and not French. It seems Rene Thomas is Belgium also. I really like that clip, I'll have to find and add it to my collection. I'm glad I can always come back to your post. That organ added a different touch that I liked.
"Bags Groove" had two musicians that are new to me; Sacha Distel on guitar, and Barney Wilen on tenor sax, they both sounded good, and Kenny Clark on drums kept it altogether. You have a very nice collection. Thanks for the fine posts.
Enjoy the music
