1957 album.
Highly recommended debut by the 19 year old French tenor star.
This was recorded on January 7th 1957 and later that year he worked with Miles Davis on Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (Lift To The Scaffold): Original Soundtrack.
"After a solo with Miles Davis' band in the Club Saint Germain during the winter of 1958, 21-year-old Barney Wilen unhooked his saxophone, came to the bar, ordered a double and said: "You know what Miles just said to me? He said: 'Why don't you stop playing those terrible notes?'" Not having a low insecurity threshold, Wilen immediately went back to the bandstand to play some more of whatever you call them. It would take more than words to kill Barney. "
