"... one of his finest performances on record ... a classic ..."
- The Penguin Guide to Jazz

"As this excellent album shows, he was at the peak of his playing power and accompanied by talented colleagues at every step."

The title of this 1963 date refers to Dexter Gordon's self-imposed exile in Paris, where he recorded with two other expatriates and a French native. Along with Gordon, pianist Bud Powell and drummer Kenny Clarke were living in Paris and were joined by brilliant French bassman Pierre Michelot. This is a freewheeling bop date with the band working out on standards like Scrapple From The Apple and A Night In Tunisia. In addition, American tunes such as Willow Weep For Me and Stairway To The Stars are included. Gordon is at the very top of his game here, his playing crisp, tight and full of playful fury.
