CATHERINE | ESCOUDE | LOOCKWOOD — Trio (1983) WV (image+.cue), lossless

This is an interesting set featuring both Philip Catherine and the lesser-known Christian Escoude on guitars, plus violinist Didier Lockwood -- not a typical trio record. The music often swings a la Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, but the repertoire (three songs apiece by each of the musicians) is more advanced, actually falling into the post-bop genre. Lockwood in particular excels in this setting, making one regret that this Gramavision LP has yet to be reissued on CD. Scott Yanow
