Reissue of the Philips 70 306.
'On the surface the idea might seem crazy or, worse, venal. That would be cheaping the intelligence and musical science of Raymond Fol : in St. Germain-des-Prés he had belonged to the 'Be Bop Minstrels' led by his brother Hubert; Opening the allegro from 'spring' with an Afro-Cuban rhythm, or giving the Presto from 'Summer' to the brass, bass and drums, shows no treachery, but they are transposition that remains the spirit of a work that hasn't been 'jazzed up' with banality vut, rather, enterely retought.'
